[ANN] New Cocoa Squeak VM release

> 1) It's based on VMMaker 221 (latest)
> 2) it has a minor bugfix on arguments passed to the image (it was ignoring first argument).
> 3) My biggest change is that I drop the "b" from the release version, I didn't like it, and I think nobody else likes it :) and also is clear to understand, IMHO. Now you can read the version as: Major Version.Minor Version.Bugfix Version.
