Hi Guys -
You probably noticed that I was busy working on the latest Croquet VMs - the whole set of issues and changes that I am dealing with right now are for Croquet 1.0. It seems like things are settling down now (at least I have no obvious things on my TODO list any longer) and a consolidated version of VMMaker which includes all the issues discussed here is available at the repository at:

Tim - This (or perhaps the version two weeks from now ;-) is probably a good version for you to merge back into the main line when you find the time for it. There aren't many changes, just what I was dealing with in general (FloatMathPlugin, Tests, CroquetPlugin, SocketPlugin) so integration should be straightforward.
Cheers, - Andreas
