After more fiddling, I can make working socket & sound external plugins.

Generate the SocketPlugin for external use.
Generate the VM with SocketPlugin removed from the list in Interpreter
class>translate:doInlining:forBrowser:
then
Move the SocketPlugin directory to ~/src/SocketPlugin.
Move ~src/unix/sqUnixSocket. to ~src/SocketPlugin.
Edit ~src/unix/PLUGINS to remove the line with SocketPlugin - commenting
out with a '#' won't work.
In ~{your build directory}
	../src/unix/configure
	make
This should produce a socket-less vm in {your build directory} and a
socket plugin in {your build directory}/.libs

My mistake, my apologies. Wouldn't work yesterday (or even this morning
at 2:30am), worked today after several more builds. 'kin Murphy!
