I suppose this link is gone:

I couldn't get to it just now.

Actually, do I even need this? Tim originally supplied this so I could
learn VM building. But, I'm now creating just an external plugin. Do I
even need a buildable VM to build one external plugin?
Perhaps I can use the latest SVN just for the directory structure?

How do others create a working environment for external plugin dev?
