Mini vMac v3.2.2 Alpha

"Today's Mini vMac 3.2.2 alpha is made from the last source snapshot. (Variations to follow.)

I think I'll phase out the OS X universal version. Five years after the transition, there isn't much demand for it. I'll still keep the PowerPC only version, along with versions for OS 9 and earlier."
