I'm currently using vmware 5.5 on WinXP to host a FreeBSD guest.  But
in order to get FreeBSD as the host OS, we'll need to back port some
linux ioctl to RELENG_4, RELENG_5, RELENG_6 from  -CURRENT.  See my
MFC request from May 20th:

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2005-May/050421.html

  Also, some one will need to re-write orlando's VMware 4 patch to
vmmon to work with Vmware 5.* and the VMware 3 vmnet patch to work
with VMware 4, and 5.*.
