10 years back the VM source was in the image, this included vmmaker  
and an encoded zip file
for all the C source files need to build the VM on the platform, aka  
macintosh.

Out of that the vmVersion primitive would just return the update  
number of the image used
to build the VM because they were synchronized.

Today that number has little meaning, and is different on each  
platform, since it reflects
the image used to build the VM, and says nothing about which version  
of vmmaker was
used to make the VM.
