It's based on http://www.strongtalk.org/downloads/strongtalk-source-r36.zip
I didn't include other people changes.

Sure, i'm working with VC6.
IMHO the same code should be used with all compilers. Any code I
compiled with GCC was compiled fine with VC6 too.

I think we should do it like HotSpot, it's the most natural way. We
won't need any branches on the codebase for the source tree, and all
the platform-specificity should be encapsulated in the
os_<platform>.cpp/hpp files.

A simple change in the platform file when you use MakeDeps will change
the included files.
