[vbox-dev] [PATCH] Cosmetic patch for Guest Additions startup/shutdown scripts for Arch Linux

[ColdShine]

Attached are diff files to be applied, in
/src/VBox/Additions/linux/installer, to add cosmetics (mostly
colouring) for the messages printed, during startup and shutdown
procedures, by the VirtualBox Guest Additions running in Arch Linux.

Basically, I replicated the use of cosmetics in SuSE, Gentoo and Red
Hat, using equivalent accessory functions from /etc/rc.d/functions,
which is available in Arch Linux.
The changes in vboxadd-timesync.sh are a bit more extensive because of
the lack of (forgotten?) a redefineable begin() function, so I created
it for all of the known distros (copying it from vboxadd.sh), and used
it in the appropriate instances.
These patches are open for discussion, of course.

I hereby license the attached patches under the MIT license. If you're
willing to add an attribution anywhere, please contact me back and
I'll provide you with my real name.
