I did a before and after comparison of generated code on oscog, and
verified that the patch produces no change to generated code for the
VM except for the now correct translation of 'self bytesPerWord' in
the FreetypePlugin.

I committed the VMMaker patch as VMMaker-oscog-dtl.124 and reverted
the added #bytesPerWord from FreetypePlugin in Freetype-Plugin-dtl.63.

If you update to the latest FreetypePlugin, and merge the changes from
VMMaker-oscog-dtl.124, we should now have a FreetypePlugin that compiles
correctly with both trunk and oscog VMMaker.

I think this will also make it possible to merge the oscog branch
of OSProcessPlugin. I'll take a look at this weekend when I get some
free time.
