Where does BitBlitplugin.c come from?

I brought over the following files from the UIUC archive:
Squeak-3.2-4956-i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.2-5.tar.gz
Squeak-3.2-5.i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz
Squeak-3.2-5.src.tar.gz
SqueakV3.sources.gz

Squeak runs fine but I have problems around VMMaker. It does not want to
read VMMaker.config; as it turns out the config array still carries Mr
Piumarta's pathnames;)

More importantly, there is a /src/BitBltPlugin/BitBlitPlugin.c , supposedly
generated by Squeak. My image has no BitBlitPlugin and neither does
/platforms. I looked all over, for example whether the class BitBlt had its
own translator; that is out anyway because the .c contains function calls
not in the BitBlt class.

How did this file come into being?

My purpose for studying the VM is to find out how much and what of X11 is
actually used by Squeak.

Excuse me if it is an old and known question. I did search the archives
first apart from my long educational tour in the VM categories of Squeak.
