Well the carbon mac VM is for example Squeak VM 3.5.2b1 which means  
usually a 3.5 series VM, with perhaps enhancements found in the mac  
source tree at the rev 2 version and beta 1.  Usually I send beta 1, 2,  
...  out for pre-trials to interested folks, then once I've fixed any  
forgotten details you might have 3.5.0b4 as an example as something  
everyone uses.  Also I've rev the beta numbers for mac specific VM  
fixes when required.


I'll note enhancements to the VM sneak into the Mac VM because  
sometimes they are powerpc performance specific or as an example  
(global structures) where it takes years/months for them to creep into  
the base image.

Right now the current VM should be build-able from the sourceforge  
source tree. What is really required is work on the CVS part to enable  
me and other VM folks I'd guess the ability to tag source to indicate  
what for example really went into the 3.4.0b4 VM. I
do have source trees for most of that on my office machines in case  
anyone say a 3.2.6 source tree for the mac VM.
