Thanks Eliot,
I will do an update in the VMM inbox in the next day or so.

My apologies, I intended this for the VMMaker inbox. I will move it there now.
no problem.

Support image formats 68533 and 7033. Let the image inform the VM that alternate bytecodes either are or are not in use, and remember the setting when writing or reading the image format number in a shapshot file header. Also support testing the current value of multipleBytecodeSetsActive, and listing the encoder names of supported bytecode sets.
This is cool. But let me suggest...

use self methodReturnValue: encoderNames instead of self pop: 1 thenPush: encoderNames.

Can we write this as is the image version a Spur version? if so... insist on exact match is the image a priori version? If so... filter the acceptable matches otherwise fail for unrecognised version ?
'cuz this way is more readable/commentable/extensible in the long run.
