>Description:
Base off the documentation at http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch07.html
supported virtualbox platforms allow you to run RDP/VRDP on a port range
(search for "list of ports").  It would be nice if the www/virtualbox-ose VNC
extension would support a range of ports for the "Remote Desktop Server Port"
in Display, Remote Display. 

Currently if you try to use a range the inital number is used.  ex: two VM
configured with 5900-5999 range in "Remote Desktop Server Port" both still try
to start a VNC server on port 5900 (one fails to enable VNC)

>How-To-Repeat:
start two VMs with the a range instead of a single port number for "Remote 
Desktop Server Port"

>Fix:
Add support to the VNC extension to read the range and start VNC on the first
open VNC port.

5900-5999

If 5900 is in use 5901.
