New patches, which actually make it compile this time :-)

This works:

[~svn/vbox/out/freebsd.x86/release] edwin at k7>export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=`pwd`/bin:`pwd`/lib
[~svn/vbox/out/freebsd.x86/release] edwin at k7>cd bin
[~svn/vbox/out/freebsd.x86/release/bin] edwin at k7>kldload vboxdrv.ko 
[~svn/vbox/out/freebsd.x86/release/bin] edwin at k7>cd ..
[~svn/vbox/out/freebsd.x86/release] edwin at k7>bin/VirtualBox 

But it still complains about the kernel driver:

VM creation failed (GVMM). VBox status code: -37 (VERR_NOT_SUPPORTED).

And panics while unloading...

I will continue on my test box (a multitude slower than my desktop
but at least I don't lose all my $realjob work when it panics)
