I figured out how to load the mcz files with Monticello but

1. What constitutes the DBusPlugin? There is a DBus-Plugin-bf.32.mcz
but I don't think that goes in my VM directory. I can unpack the
archive but I don't know what to do with the individual files.

2. Which directory is my VM directory? I am on FreeBSD. Looks like
/usr/local/lib/squeak/3.11.3-2135/. I see a likely looking suspect in
the listing, so I guess I already have that plugin?

squeakvm

3. When I load DBus-Plugin-bf.32.mcz I get a dependency warning about
SmartSyntaxInterpreterPlugin, followed by a long list of things that
depend on it.

I think #3 is the only show stopper. Is there a way I can search for
something like this? I would like to be able to resolve this kind of
thing without taking up the group's time.
