Motivation for this change

This is the OpenSmalltalk (a.k.a. the Cog VM) virtual machine for Squeak. It replaces the "classic Squeak VM".

This is a patched binary job, the OpenSmalltalk build system tries to download, configure, and build its own dependencies.

Our Squeak maintainer retired in 2018 (0f84673) and I am willing to take this over.
