[openbeos] Re: Haiku VMware video driver in BeOS 5 PE?

Hi Eric,

I'm using vmware 5.5.1 with beos 5 pe (5.0.1 netserver). CardID is 405. I
simply copied vmware.accelerant from the latest Haiku hd image to
/BeOS5PE/beos/system/add-ons/accelerants/ and vmware to
/BeOS5PE/beos/system/add-ons/kernel/drivers/bin/. On serial debug file no
clue about vmware. I will try to compile vmware driver for r5 target as
suggested by François and Axel to see what happens.

On that topic, I went ahead and modified the jamfiles to create a jam
package from this (for the factory) - built using TARGET_PLATFORM=r5.
Hummin in #haiku tested it with his R5-in-VMWare environment and he said it
worked great!

Attached is the patch if someone wants to commit it.

Note: I think the package names are a bit odd... should we remove the "-cvs"
entirely? change them all to "-svn"? - put "r5" in the filename somewhere?
