This has been fixed now. The Strongtalk VM SVN sources now build and  
run from VS 8 as indicated here:
http://groups.google.com/group/strongtalk-general/msg/f9be4c11fae7536c

They still require large vcproj/solution files due to the use of  
precompiled headers, so those are attached to Dave Griswold's message  
and not in SVN yet. Perhaps that will be rectified soon.
