[GemStone-Smalltalk] VSD on Mac ARM64

[Kurt Kilpela]

Johan,

After further investigation, I found I have an old and stale homebrew install on this machine. It includes an X11 install. This is the X11 that is being used by VSD rather than the XQuartz variant.  Specifically, VSD relies on the presence of `/opt/homebrew/lib/libX11.6.dylib`. This is really just a symlink to the other location.

# find /opt -name libX11.6.dylib
/opt/homebrew/lib/libX11.6.dylib
/opt/homebrew/Cellar/libx11/1.8.1/lib/libX11.6.dylib
