Problems with OSProcess/VMMaker/Balloon3D

I wanted to install OSProcess. Got a walkback during install, despite
the fact that no prerequisites were documented. On a hunch, I installed
VM Generation, though I don't really think that should be required to
run OSProcess.

This failed too - not a huge surprise, since it said it is only known to
run on 3.5. It falls because it wants to have Balloon3D for it's
constants.

So running OSProcess requires installing 3D support. More annoyingly, 
Balloon3D's download location isn't responding to http requests. 

Anyway, I'll manage with this, but it seems to me we need to slice 
these packages a bit thinner, to prevent this kind of bogus 
dependency problems.
