No problem.  I'm ecstatic at having successfully used VMMaker, and am
looking forward to playing with my own plugins, now that it's so
convenient.  Thank you!

One more hack was necessary to successfully compile:  I added
#define sqFilenameFromStringOpen(dst, src, num) sqFilenameFromString(dst, src, num)
to sqPlatformSpecific.h in order to get the FilePlugin to build.

Like I said, building with a copy of the source ("diff -r oldsrc
copiedsrc" verifies that they are the same) doesn't have the same
problem.  I also manually compared all of the file permissions in the
two directories.  I have no idea what the difference could possibly
be.
