pkgng and vmware-tools

JFYI:
When installing vmware tools from ESXI 5.x, their script trying to discover
X, and some packages by invoking pkg_info (as it seems):

pkg_info: Don't use the pkg_ tools if you are using pkgng
pkg_info: no packages installed
pkg_info: Don't use the pkg_ tools if you are using pkgng
pkg_info: no packages installed

Not sure if this could be fixed by upstream, but some workarounds like
patch for "vmware-install.pl" would be appreciated by those who use X :)
