No, the 3.9 VM *does* have an internal SqueakFFIPrims, whereas the 3.7
VM does *not* have an internal SqueakFFIPrims.

Conversely, the 3.7 VM has an internal UnixOSProcessPlugin, where the
3.9 VM does not (it is external and present in the lib directory, though
not loaded).

Summary of changes (excluding version differences):

Present only in 3.7-7: AioPlugin, UnixOSProcessPlugin
Present only in 3.9-4, 3.9-7, SVN trunk: CroquetPlugin, FloatMathPlugin
The lists are otherwise the same.
