We used our own shared folder additions. if you would like to add this support to the main line of code, pls let me know. (we only did it on windows guest and host).

I take it from the above that you are rebuilding the clipboard service
and additions module.  If this is correct and you can give me a hint as
to why you need to know the VM name, perhaps we can think of a way
around this without modifying the main VBox code.
