First time I've been in a position to respond to a CFT for virtualbox. Got
it installed on 10.0-RC4 and everything looks good so far. Is there
anything in particular you wanted us to test or should we just abuse it
mercilessly as we would under normal use?

Also, I took the liberty of posting info on your CFT to the FreeBSD forums.
Thought that might get a few more folks involved in the testing that would
not have been otherwise. Hope that was okay.
