  Log:
  Dear VMware Workstation users around the world, here is an upgrade of
  VMware Workstation FreeBSD-guest related ports for VMware Workstation
  5.5.0 build 18463.
  
  New features are:
  
  - Spell "VMware Workstation" appropriately.
          There are much VMware products, it would be the time that I have
          to spell VMware Workstation as VMware Workstation.
  - Support FreeBSD/amd64 since 64-bit binaries are provided from VMware.
          I don't test any of 64-bit related portion, since I have no
          FreeBSD/amd64 machine.  If something trouble please email me.
  - New variable "WITH_VMWARE_GTK" (emulators/vmware-tools5)
          Install gtk version of VMware Tools if defined
          (add more dependencies on other gtk-related ports)
  - New variable "WITH_VMWARE_VMXNET" (emulators/vmware-guestd5)
          Install "vmxnet.ko" kernel module (vmxnet driver) if defined
          Usage:
                  - shutdown FreeBSD guest VM
                  - add following line to FreeBSD guest VM config file
                          Ethernet0.virtualDev="vmxnet"
                  - Boot FreeBSD guest VM
                  - load vmxnet.ko kernel module
                  - ifconfig vxn0 ...
          New rc.conf variable "vmware_guest_vmxnet_enable" is also added
          to vmware-guestd.sh to load kernel module at startup.  However,
          ${PREFIX}/etc/rc.d/vmware-guestd.sh run _after_ /etc/rc.d/netif,
          so it maybe too late to load here...
          Note that vmxnet.ko supports FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE or later, and
          5.3-RELEASE and later (as VMware said).  I've confirmed that
          recent 7-current got 100% instant panic if vmxnet.ko is loaded.
  - "vmware_guest_kmod_enable" is renamed to "vmware_guest_vmmemctl_enable"
          Now this ports has two kernel modules now, old name is not
          appropriate one, hard to understand this variable is for which
          kernel module.  I also put backward compatibility code, but users
          of vmware_guest_kmod_enable please change variable name.
  
  Bugfixes are:
  
  - Resolve conflicts on ${PREFIX}/share/vmware-tools.
          Unfortunately both vmware-guestd5 and vmware-tools5 installs
          files to ${PREFIX}/share/vmware-tools directory.  Since this
          directory is only for vmware-tools, vmware-guestd5 doesn't do
          anything for now.
  - WWW: line in pkg-descr points bogus page.
  - Add note that there's official VMware Tools installer, and what is the
    difference between the two.
  
  Finally, as usual, bump PORTVERSION.
