Okay, how about creating a separate VMBenchmarks repository and putting VMBenchmarks package there?
Sure, sounds good. There are also the Systems benchmarks at http://www.squeaksource.com/PharoBenchmarks.
So, at least, I was able to run all benchmarks :)
However, it still needs cleaning, improvement, testing, blah. But it is a good start point I think.
Well, I am not to sure about the general value of those benchmarks. There are many microbenchmarks which do not tell you a lot. All those test* things. And well, their value for testing is also questionable. They only can help you to identify where it goes *boom* and crashes the VM, but they do not actually assert for anything. Also not sure what the value of Slopstone and Smopstone (names from the top of my head might be slightly different) is nowadays. The compiler benchmark is a reasonable application benchmark. Would be good to have a few others in that collection, too.
