I see. If that's the issue I would probably argue to split up VMMaker 
(it's too big as it stands for my taste) perhaps into 
VMMaker-Translation (CCodeGen, Slang), VMMaker-Interpreter 
(ObjectMemory, Interpreter), and VMMaker-Plugins (all the plugins with 
the common ones being in VMMaker-Plugins-Common). In which case 
VMMaker-Plugins-OSProcess could live side by side with the rest of the 
VMMaker packages.
