Call for Testers: VirtualBox 4.0.6

It's about two months since the last call for testers and a lot of
bugfixing has happened since then. Not all of the reported problems were
FreeBSD related which is a good indication that we're not too far behind
the stability of the other hosts. So let's get it one once again.

Last time I asked for some help and Baptiste Daroussin (bapt@) made the
classic mistake to respond. So all please welcome bapt to the FreeBSD
Vbox Team!

This is also the first time that we provide FreeBSD binary packages.
They are build for FreeBSD 7.4 and 8.2 on i386 and amd64 platform and
have the DEBUG option enabled. If you use a STABLE kernel you can use
the virtualbox-ose-4.0.6-*-RELEASE-*.tbz binary package but have to
compile the kernel module port for your kernel yourself.
(emulators/virtualbox-ose-kmod)

PBIs for PC-BSD are currently worked on and will hopefully be available
in a few days.


What has happened since the last cft:

- VirtualBox update to 4.0.6
- phpvirtualbox updated to 4.0-5
- VIMAGE support added
- vboxheadless startscript added
- vboxwebsrv rc startscript fixes
- Build fixed with LOCALBASE != PREFIX
- Documentation of USB configuration (see pkg-message or Wiki)


Thanks to all people that have contributed to that release and also
reported problems for the last cft. We really appreciate that!
