Checklist for 4.1 rc4

Folks -

Looks like we're not quite done yet in rc3. I've got a few things on the
check list after the reports:

VMs:
[ ] Update Unix VM to 4.0.3.2196
[ ] Update Mac VM to 4.2.4beta1U
[ ] Fix the "damaged" Mac VM [*1]

Image:
[ ] Update to System-dtl.315.mcz
[ ] Update to SMBase-gk.109.mcz

[*1] I need help for this since I don't know what the problem is. Could
someone with sufficient Mac experience check to see what the difference
between those VMs is? I suspect it might be permissions but I'm not sure.

Anything else I'm missing? (I left out SMLoader update per Göran's
request) If not, I might be doing the rc4 later tonight or tomorrow,
depending on whether someone can help with the "damaged" Mac VM issue.

Cheers,
   - Andreas

This in is the inbox, not trunk. It is intended for inclusion in 4.2, not
for the current 4.1 release. IMO it would be good to include it in the
4.1 release, but it is a feature and not a required update so please do
not let it be an inhibitor to 4.1 release.

Yeah, I just realized that these changes need primitive support not
(yet) in all VMs. I'll leave it out then.

If someone feels differently regarding SMLoader (feel free to try it!) -
then we just need to figure out if:

a) We should have two "open" alternatives for it, as right now.
b) How it behaves in flaps and "objects" bin etc.
c) If we can ditch any of the three implementations of SMLoader.

...and also, if you run *any* earlier image than 4.1.1 - and get routed
through the bootstrap script, then you *will* get this newer SMLoader
package.

PS. It was Brian Rice that did the builk of this work on SMLoader I think.
