[vbox-dev] VBoxWeb

[Josh Wright]

VBoxWeb ships with the xpcom bindings, there's no need to "install" the sdk.

There should be an "xpcom" folder in vboxweb/ which is where it should
import from.

The "hit it with a big hammer" fix would be to copy the xpcom folder
to /usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/
