VMM patch to help with cross-platform plugin generation

[David T. Lewis]

Hi Tim,

VMM supports generating sources for target platforms other than
the one it's running on, but the plugins have no way to tell
VMM if they should be translated in that case.

Trivial enhancement attached.

Allow cross-generation of plugin source for platform-dependent plugins.

For example, OSPP should generate the Win32 version of the plugin if
VMMaker is set to generate plugins for 'win32' and Squeak is running
on a Unix VM.

Note that platform name 'Win32' uses platforms directory name 'win32',
so plugins should use a case-insensitive compare.

Tim, I think your mail relay is constipated.
