Re: Building on linux

OK. I've uploaded my changes with a few explanatory comments to the VM
on Linux porting issue (#11) on the issues list. As explained in the
issue changes are required both to the VM and to the image, so you
will not be able to run a standard image on the VM or run the changed
image on a standard VM.

However, the changes do allow the tests from Dave G's minimal
deterministic test script to run. Unfortunately, the recompile world
step still fails due to an issue with the garbage collector. For now I
have commented it out in the image I uploaded. When I have a fix I
will upload it.

There are still holes in the implementation and obviously there is no
UI support. However, once the GC problem mentioned above is fixed, we
should be able to update the image entirely in Linux using the command
line script interface. Not really user friendly, but a worthwhile
milestone.
