Hi John! I have just download the vm and played for a while. I have a good news and a bad one.
The good news is that the bug of the double copy past seems to be gone away. Maybe because what you said about "lack mac menu integration". I should check because if then, when you do that, I have the double paste bug again, at least we know where it comes from :)
The bad news is that FFI is not working, but it is ok as you said the only plugin you compile was FreeType and it seems to be working for me :)
FFI will not work on any 64-bit VM. Details here:

Do you mean without your fixes? BTW Do you know the status of alien on other platform than mac?
64-bit FFI will work on Unix and Windows with these fixes. I have not tried Mac, but I expect that some work would be needed. The changes are not trivial, and will affect the plugin, the VM itself, and the Pharo/Squeak images. The next big fix on our VM-team "to-do list" is to get sound working on 64-bit platforms, and FFI will come after that. I do not know the status of alien now, but my understanding is that it is limited to intel processors and 32-bit platforms. My guess is that it would be good to fix the old FFI first because those changes would likely have an impact on alien also. But I do not know much about alien, so I am not the best person to say. Dave
