[Vm-dev] hacking a 3.9 VM

[Raymer David-fdr017]

I thought I had, but then I found another post in the mailing list, with
a response from someone that seemed to indicate it was platform software
version number.  So I am trying again.  Basically, I grabbed the VMM38b4
branch this time ... I am learning a great deal through these failures,
which is always a good thing.

Did you go "by the book"?

If so, let me know what didn't work.
