[vbox-dev] Guest additions for Android

[Christian Pötzsch]

Than you just need to disable mouse integration in VBox and you are
done. Android-x86 works very well in VBox already. They use a PS2 device
for the mouse, which makes our usb mouse tablet (with the better host
integration support) not useable. And yes they don't use X11 but direct
framebuffer access.
