Strongtalk VM docs (was Re: Strongtalk VM now open sourced)

[Brian Rice]

I have posted Doxygen-generated Strongtalk VM documentation to:
http://tunes.org/~water/strongtalk/vm-doc/
http://tunes.org/~water/strongtalk/vm-doc.tgz (for download and  
offline viewing)

Also, Strongtalk now has a website:
http://www.strongtalk.org/

It is using Google project hosting:
http://code.google.com/p/strongtalk/
http://groups.google.com/group/strongtalk-general
http://groups.google.com/group/strongtalk-commit
