[vbox-dev] Accessing the enums from python

[Nikolay Igotti]

    Hi Oliver,
 
 Technically wrappers could be separated from the rest of tree, and just 
used with any recent VBox (maybe with some minor adjustments). However, 
supported configuration is to use SDK shipped with appropriate 
VirtualBox release.
 
 Thanks,
    Nikolay
