Hi there,

I was wondering if the VMW tools [1] shouldn't become an (optional) package for our vmware images. At least the vmw_server is extremely useful for sharing the clipboard with the host system. I also propose to automatically start the vmw_server from the Bootscript if it's detected on the system.

If we decide to do so, what's needed for becoming an (optional) package? I can contact the author momoziro if that's needed and I guess the Haiku Gazette could host the small package itself if it won't be hosted in Haiku's repository.

Thanks!
