getOffsetAsInt was introduced some time ago as a
temporary method.
This patch gets back rid of this temporally introduced
method.
One obvious change is that most VM_Statics methods will
now be accessed with an Offset instead of a slot
(index), this way I could remove some redundant
shifting back an forth of indices.
patched against cvs-head.
