That had indeed worked perfectly. But in the context of his project, my
friend needs to be able to compile custom VMs (something I have not
bothered to do myself so far).

Since the main question was about a web page rather than VMs themselves,
I wasn't sure what the best place was. Ken also suggested vm-dev on
#squeak so I was able to forward this there when I saw that I already
had the replies I needed :-)

I meant not included in plugins.int nor plugins.ext. There was a
discussion about this many years ago on this list which gave me the
impression that it was considered a security risk and so should be
optional.

The path was indeed wrong. I guess the other plugins were found in
/Cross/ and so worked just fine. Thanks for the tip!
