Description

http://open-vm-tools.sourceforge.net/

Would be nice to have open vm tools as a package.
Arjen managed to compile and even run the tool, but nothing happens.
The main reason why we would like this, is when you shut down the host, the alpine clients will shut down nicely.

Package is in v2.0/testing. I need feedback on this one (or it will not be included in 2.0) since I don't use vmware myself.

Is the package ok? What is missing? what needs to be done to complete it?

I have not verified if all is working ok. I need to setup some vmware guests upcoming week and will do some basic testing. After that we can consider this closed.
