It would be sure very helpful to have your work available, but the 
download doesn't seem to work for me (unable to resolve the server name; 
sorry if i'm doing something wrong).
Did you publish a VM patch (via VMMaker or a C diff against some svn 
revision)..? I need to use a bit tweaked VM to get the mouse 
scrollweheel working correctly (an one-liner, but still needs to rebuild 
the whole VM).
Much thanks for every support :)
