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
configurations the way the default installation did before. This
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. :)
- vmware-sniffer and vmware-wizard were changed. (details unknown)
- vmmon/vmnet/vmppuser sources were unchanged, however, some of the
binaries (for Linux) seems have recompiled. That would not affect
us because we compile them from source.
Fix configure script to return zero on exit.
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.
