Call for Testers: VirtualBox 4.0.4

[Maho NAKATA]

Hello

I have just tried virtualbox 4.0.4 port on my 8.2-RELEASE/amd64 system.
I only used for several hours, but USB support works very well with
Windows XP guest. Shared folder also works. 

Many thanks for your great works!!

Thanks,
 Nakata Maho
