[Vm-beginners] MicroSqueak's Interpreter

The majority of functions in:

http://isqueak.org/PlatformVMAPI

are cited in /Cross/vm/sq.h. The exceptions are secCanDeletePathOfSize 
or dir_Lookup and related. These are in plugins.

So reading over sq.h is a good place to start. Getting gnu-interp.c and 
the files that have implementations sq.h functions. At this point it 
makes sense to organize it with XCode into a project.

- sq.h
- gnu-interp.c
- files with sq.h mentioned functions

I have a feeling this set of files will have a lower noise-to-signal 
ratio than poking around in the VMMakerTool, which - truth be told - has 
some sophisticated pieces.

Righto

Chris
