Test VMMaker branch for 38b4 on SVN server

[John M McIntosh]

That has changed to
http://squeakvm.org/svn/squeak/

which is where the SVN tree has been moved to. The squeak.hpl.hp.com  
SVN tree was frozen a few weeks back and moved.
We're expecting HP at some point will wake up and drop that server,  
but perhaps not until the end of the year.  mmm ping....
mmm year end is early this  year, guess the IT dept at HP is somewhat  
alert.

The mac readme doc in the VMM38b4 should talk about what to do to  
build for 38b4.

Having a buildable VM is somewhat helpful,  you can setup the plugin  
in xcode and open the VM project, then set the application in the  
plugin xcode to be the squeak VM debug app, then you can breakpoint  
in your plugin, but see the source code for the entire execution stack.
