it's development:
1) Run on Linux/Unix, Mac OS X, and other SDL supported operating systems with
as few changes as possible to the base Win32 code. This means we can track
changes faster than larger more conventional ports, and we also maintain
what I call "Firefox compatibilty" where learning a major app only needs to
be done once per application, and it then applies across many operating
systems. If you can use the command-line Win32 MESS, you already know how
to use SDLMESS on any platform you may encounter it on.
2) MESS developers are important. By keeping quickly up to date, we make it
easy for people on non-Windows platforms to make and submit changes to the
core MESS code, and we offer native implementations of MESS's multi-window
GUI debugger on both Linux/Unix and Mac OS X.

emulator.
It runs in Linux, Mac OS X, DOS, Windows and in all the other platforms
supported by the SDL library. The main features are:
* Auto update of the rom info.
* Vertical and horizontal orientation.
* Support for any TV/Arcade Monitor like AdvanceMAME but it's good also for a
normal PC monitor.
* Static and Animated image and clip preview (PNG/PCX/ICO/MNG). Up to 192
images at the same time!
* Sound preview. (MP3/WAV). You can select a special sound for every game
played when the cursor move on it.
* Sound backgrounds (MP3/WAV). Play your favourite songs or radio records in
background.
* Sound effects (MP3/WAV) for key press, program start, game start, program
exit...
* Support for zipped images and sounds archives.
* Screensaver. A slide show of the game images.
* Selectable background and help images with translucency.

advanced video support for helping the use with TVs, Arcade Monitors, Fixed
Frequencies Monitors and also for PC Monitors.
They run in GNU/Linux, Mac OS X, DOS, Windows and in all the other platforms
supported by the SDL library.
The main difference compared with the official emulators is that the Advance
versions are able to program directly the video board to always get a video
mode with the correct size and frequency.
Generally the Advance emulators are able to use a video mode which doesn't
require any stretching or other unneeded effects to match the original arcade
display.
The direct video board programming is fully supported in Linux and DOS. It's
partially supported in Windows. It isn't supported in Mac OS X and other
platforms.
See website for other improvements.

vmware-guestd{,.sh} script is just for vmware-guestd5 port, not vmware-tools5.
However, USE_RC_SUBR variable is defined for vmware-tools5, the script
is installed even if it is not needed.
Bump PORTREVISION to note this change.
Actually, vmware-guestd4 package content is changed but I don't want to
bump the version -- it is used only in uninstallation phase (and VMware
Workstation 4.x is no longer updated so no uninstallation will be needed.)
- Many Direct3D fixes and performance improvements.
- Several new comctl32 test cases.
- IDL compiler improvements.
