will potentially avoid needless compilations on bento, and has the added

cdevsw_add()/remove() removal.
This outputs a
WARNING: driver "vmmon" used unreserved major device number 200
message, but as the vmware application really requires to use a major
of 200 (error otherwise, tested), we need to use a fixed one, and I
don't want to register a major for this.
$LINUXBASE/dev had a different device minor than the cloned one
in /dev/vmnet1. Thus delete the one in $LINUXBASE and link it
to the devfs one to have everything right.
This fixes the port on my fresh installed 5.0-RELEASE box.
Note that the OSVERSION test is inexact. The type change
happened after 500027, but since there's no 500028 yet and
making one specifically for this port is considered overkill
we hope to get away with it.

advantages, chief of which is that it doesn't hose over multi-interface

mechanism "chains" the guest's interface to an interface specified at
installation-time (it can be changed afterwards by editing the rc.d
script).

- 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. :)
I've tested this version for several hours and found it pretty stable,
which means this "release" version could handle the situations which
RC versions never could.
If you suffer any problems with it, feel free to report the situations
in detail at the freebsd-emulation list.
Set MAINTAINER to <ak@freenet.co.uk> and mention the freebsd-emulation list.

Include the checksum of the 2.0.1-546 beta's distfile in files/md5 for those
who want to test it.

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.
