  Whichever two images you would like to compare (why not write
"Squeak"?), launch two images and evaluate:

  Smalltalk condenseSources.

or equivalent in them.  Each of image will make a .sources file so you
get two .sources file.  Then, use diff (perhaps you might want to
convert CR to LF before that) to see the difference.

  The VM is well synchronized with the trunk VM.  They were identical
a few weeks ago.  We now have a few more patches in the OLPC VM branch
but it is not significant.  The VM is a separeted rpm BTW.

  Why do you refer it to as "binary blob"?
