Well, I guess the last official Unix build that Ian Piumarta did was about
a year ago, so a refresh might be in order some time soon.

I'll bet that if you were to send an email to Ian (piumarta at speakeasy
dot net, or just to the vm-dev list) telling him about how much you appreciate
his efforts and mentioning how nice it would be if the VM supported exit
status, he might do something for you. He's kind of a pushover for that
sort of influence ;-)

While you are at it you should mention that this is important to you because
you need it to support the work that you are doing with CI on build.squeak.org,
and oh by the way wouldn't it me nice if we had a real VM build slave
running on squeakvm.org that would do continuous builds from the latest
sources in the Subversion repository?
