Yes, when I was hacking on the VM several years ago, that was indeed how
it was laid out... I don't even have to look to tell you that you are
right about this.

Each time I attempt a build I run "svn update" AND pull all 400k of
squeakmap's catalogue over my dialup connection.

The latest version available on Squeakmap is 3.8b3

Strangely, there is no Vmmaker for the latest release, 3.7-7.

Yep.
But it's not in SVN or on Squeakmap. I don't know anything more about it.
