[Vm-dev] Question about primitives

[John M McIntosh]

For the OSX Version 4 VM the build documentation says: 

	F.	Select plugins. (Suggest selecting menu item "make all internal",
		then drag back the following back to Plugins not built:
			CroquetPlugin
			FFIPlugin
			FloatMathPlugin
			FileCopyPlugin
			Mpeg3Plugin
			TestOSAPlugin

I also then supply these as external plugins, some are mac platform specific. 

ClipboardExtendedPlugin.bundle
CroquetPlugin.bundle
CurlPlugin.bundle
FloatMathPlugin.bundle
FT2Plugin.bundle
IA32ABI.bundle
KedamaPlugin.bundle
KedamaPlugin2.bundle
LocalePlugin.bundle
mpeg3Plugin.bundle
OggPlugin.bundle
PrintJobPlugin.bundle
QuicktimePlugin.bundle
RomePlugin.bundle
SerialExtendedUnixPlugin.bundle
ServicesPlugin.bundle
SparklePlugin.bundle
SpellingPlugin.bundle
SqueakFFIPrims.bundle
TestOSAPlugin.bundle
UnixOSProcessPlugin.bundle
