9b0e7f3d02 As our new bsd.kmod.mk doesn't seemt to support "make clean all",
do "make clean && make" instead.

This should fix the build on a recent CURRENT.

7a7a493036 Switch the port over to netgraph bridging. This method has a number of
advantages, chief of which is that it doesn't hose over multi-interface
configurations the way the default installation did before. This
mechanism "chains" the guest's interface to an interface specified at
installation-time (it can be changed afterwards by editing the rc.d
script).

8b3cd773ff Use LINUXBASE/USE_LINUX variables.
This is only a cosmetic change, so there's no need to reinstall your
installation(s).

d0b2934087 Merge with Vladimir's latest version.
- Add support for FreeBSD bridging facility.  To use it, you need a
kernel built with `options BRIDGE'.

- Integrate vmnet and if_tap code into vmmon module.

- Install vmmon/vmnet1 pseudo-device nodes under /compat/linux/dev
instead of /dev

- Set TMPDIR to /var/tmp if empty.

- Change MAINTAINER back to Vladimir N. Silyaev <vns@delta.odessa.ua>,
now he is back and being active. :)

4e4f338ce2 Add a knob to try installing VMware 2.0.1 RC2 for those who are willing to try it out.
Add a piece of advice that users should not run VMware as root to Hints.FreeBSD.

3024927161 Revise advice on /tmp: Difining TMPDIR would be better way than
creating /compat/linux/tmp to fake /tmp.

aef81ecac3 Show an error message and exit when vmware is invoked without Linux procfs
mounted on /compat/linux/proc.

I hope that would reduce FAQ.

d0e24bc7e7 Install ${PREFIX}/bin/vmware as a shell script which sets some
environment variables properly to run VMware, instead of installing it
as a symbolic link to ${PREFIX}/lib/vmware/bin/vmware.

Suggested by:	Frank Mayhar <frank@exit.com>

Add $FreeBSD$ on the top of the Hints.FreeBSD file.

Add a link to the official VMware Product FAQ page.

9225c521c3 - Clean up and minor fixes
- Make portlint satisfy
  - Avoid creating files out of WRKDIR
  - Remove the void directory "patch" (What ever was this?)
  - Adjust whitespace
  - Fix some ungrammatical wordings
  - Modify COMMENT and DESCR
- Drop fakeprocfs support due to the import of Linux procfs to the base system
- Show MESSAGE after installation
- Change maintainer to the -emulation list because:
  - Vladimir seems too busy or unreachable these days
  - This port depends very much on Linux compatibility stuff
- Get it to check if the system has Linux procfs module and stop if not
