Makoto Matsushita 2f8f686b91 Update VMware-related tools to the of VMware Workstation 4.0.0 build-4460
(after repocopying old ones, thank you joe).

It seems that VMware does not provide a new version of guest tools
for VMware 4.x to FreeBSD guest, but it would be better to add these
ports, since users will know FreeBSD runs on VMware 4.x.

I've also add vmware-toolbox port for VMware 4.x, which is for Linux
guest.  In VMware 3.x, we FreeBSD guest user are happy to use FreeBSD
version of vmware-toolbox so we don't need the Linux version.  However,
at least my VMs, FreeBSD version's vmware-toolbox causes X pointer a
bumpy one (pointer moves every seconds); it is unusable.  Linux version
seems OK for me, so if you have seen such behavior, please try
linux-vmware-toolbox4 instead.

Old ports cleanup will come later.

This is the full-featured Linux version VMware toolbox for FreeBSD
_Guest_ OS. Beware, this port is _not_ for FreeBSD _Host_ OS.
As VMware toolbox included in VMware tools for FreeBSD is not as good
as that for Linux, it lacks some useful features such as time
synchronization between the virtual machine and the Host OS. That is
why this port is provided.
Before installing this port, make sure you have a `linux.iso' file
that comes with VMware:
Windows: C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Workstation\linux.iso
Linux: /usr/lib/vmware/lib/isoimages/linux.iso
