I'm on the case today.

When I've built everything from a 3.6 image and the new VMM then I'll
merge it all in.

Quick poll: how many people are using 3.4 and how many are using 3.5?  If
there's a drift toward the latter then I'll spend some time cleaning it
up and removing all the debugging messages.

Sure.  But...

...if anyone wants to distribute those changes publicly then the modified
files must have different names.  (Ned earns much kudos for being the
first person ever to take any notice of this condition at all. :)

The Unix VM ships with this as standard.  (At least the plugin is there;
whether some additional image-side stuff needs to be filed-in to use it is
another question.)
