Forgive me if my question is a lame one.

I am a FreeBSD host user and I have been using VBox by building it from the 
ports since it first appeared there.

It is the first time I hear about "extension packs". Also, in the ftp link for 
the beta download, there is:

Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.0.0_BETA3-68940.vbox-extpack

Could anyone explain what they are or what are they for? Are they "inside" the 
OSE source code we use to build the FreeBSD port from?

Thanks,
