[François Revol]

Hi there,
I just got the vboxguest driver running in Haiku:

This is quite a first step in getting full Guest Addition support hopefully.

I need to clean up the patch because I also started to port VBox to Haiku (host), so it's huge and likely a lot of stuff isn't needed for guest support.

Still, meanwhile it would be nice if this one was committed, even though running in stock VBox which doesn't know about VBOXOSTYPE_Haiku seems to work:
http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/7214
(though I'm not sure I should keep VBOXOSTYPE_BeOS since I already had to use Haiku-specific calls for vboxguest so it's unlikely it will run in BeOS...)

François.
