New VMMaker/svn release

[Andreas Raab]

Hi Tim -

This looks actually pretty good - I was finally able to compile a 
working VM again (yay!). One problem I had was with the definition and 
use of the sqFilenamefromblabla macro - ioFilenamefromblabla (the only 
user of that macro) is defined as taking sqInt but the macro makes happy 
use of [] which makes the compiler complain that the "subscripted value 
is neither array nor pointer". This should either be cast properly or 
declared to take pointer arguments.

Cheers,
   - Andreas
