[Vm-dev] Compiling squeak-vm for Linux 64bit

[whaevr]

Alright then, I'll hold off on sending the pkgbuilds then. I haven't sent
them yet, I've been trying to figure out if its possible to do a selective
svn checkout. I don't need to checkout the the windows and mac versions.

Suppose I should wait then for the next stable squeak release?
