vm_version was easy and it's a file we modify relatively often so it  
was time well spent to my thinking.  The others are mostly harder  
because of things like ABI differences or larger implementation  
differences, like the interpreter and many of the stubs.  I don't see  
any others that are both important and amenable to merging.

It looks like a dead flag to me though I think it could be made to  
work again if anyone cared.  I suspect since no one has complained  
before now that it's dead and could be removed.
