Just checking:

The trunk and oscog branches both contain platforms/Cross/plugins/sqPluginsSCCSVersion.h.
They are identical, and neither is being actively updated (two revisions
total since creation).

The comment says:

 * A set of definitions for C source code control systems, to provide accurate
 * and definitive version information to the VM.  This file identifies the
 * platform plugin code, which is shared between Cog and the trunk interpreter.
 * It is included by platforms/Cross/vm/sqSCCSVersion.h.

The oscog branch contains a platforms/Cross/vm/sqSCCSVersion.h, but the trunk
does not. In the oscog branch the file in Cross/vm (not Cross/plugins) is being
actively updated, but no such file exists in SVN trunk, and no update is being
done. The Cross/plugins/sqSCCSVersion.h in SVN trunk is not currently used by
VMMaker trunk, nor is it used by the CMake build process.

I do not see anything further that should have been done in SVN trunk at
this point. Is that right?

Thanks
