Compiling UNIX 3.0 VM

Hi all!

Ok, I'm WAY far behind on the whole 3.0 thing. :)  I've gotten a bit 
sidetracked..you know how it goes.  Anyway, I'm trying to get up to speed and 
build  Ian's 3.0 UNIX VM on Linux.  No problem, it builds just fine, but only 
vanilla.

Two things:

1) FFI-- there is no generated/SqueakFFIPrims.c file in the archive.  Wasn't 
this included with previous tarballs of the VM?  I tried using the one from 
2.9a in place..it compiles, but libffi doesn't get linked into the resulting 
executable.  I ran configure with --enable-ffi=yes, which always worked for 
the 2.9a sources...there is no mention of FFI in the configure scripts.

2) UnixOSProcess-- does this work with the 3.0 VM?  When I built the source, 
it created a UnixOSProcessPlugin.o, but no UnixOSProcessPlugin.so.

...I'm looking forward to trying 3.0 out on my iPaq, especially since the base 
image is so much smaller than 2.9a!  I won't have to discard near as much (if 
anything...well, maybe the example projects :) to get it going, I think.
