pending mac carbon VM 3.8.12b4U

johnmci
I've posted a new VM to the usual places, 3.8.12b4U  (universal Mac  
powerpc/intel, certified for Croquet).

http://www.smalltalkconsulting.com/squeak.html

This VM changes the sleep logic to use select() versus nano-sleep().  
In testing, a nano-sleep() VM
seems to use 35% of the CPU, versus 12% for select(). No one managed  
to notice this but in the
past people have mumble when the idle CPU for their background squeak  
VMs seem too high.

Lastly I'll note all Croquet tests past, including the socket latency  
tests.

The WebTeam I've CCed can update the ftp site with this version
