[Vm-dev] Separating launcher from VM binaries

[Edgar J. De Cleene]

A poor man solution.
Export all relevant as .obj using the attached.
The serialized objects is compatible between all Squeak and if use same
clases in both, with Cuis also.
My working .obj of squeakros.org have inside 6000+ "pages" and works on all

My 2 pesos :=)

VMs could be generated with base format

The main launcher (squeak) will probe and launch a

something like:

    lib/$VER/$(ckformat $IMAGE)/$VMNAME

without having to find out the exact format number. This will enable
