[haiku] Re: VMW tools as (optional) package

At a minimun, a virtualization package should support screen resizing (both "resize the host window according to resolution" and "change resolution according to host window size"), proper mouse handling, clipboard sharing, 
folder sharing, and file drag n'drop.



Since VMware has opensourced their tools[1] for linux, you don't need
to reverse engineer the protocol.

I found these other tools :

These are much simpler than the official VMWare opensource tools, and they can be compiled (almost) directly in Haiku ! I tested the clipboard sharing, the pointer cursor location, and the shared folder. Works very well.
