[vbox-dev] VBoxDrvCfg.cpp patch so vboxddu.dll runs well on Windows 2000

[Huihong Luo]

I spent a couple of hours browsing more code, it seems should be very easy to make current vbox to work on windows 2000. about 10 more functions to deal with.
 
however, would anyone on earth still want to run 2k?
