Since I haven't had time to fix the VM, and am unlikely to in the near future, I've gone ahead and documented the various fixes I can remember in the Wiki. Right under the links to download the VM I've placed a note that there are Issues to be fixed, and in that text I've placed a link to the "Enhancing and changing the virtual machine" section, into which I've placed instructions for fixing the build directory permissions, the map caching issue, and the sporadic networking problems some have observed.
