svn commit: r528258 - in head/emulators/virtualbox-ose: . files

[Kevin Oberman]

vbox@ was folded into emulators@ a long time ago, shortly after the port
stabilized about a decade ago. jkim@ has been supporting it and is
effectively the maintainer and had done an outstanding job. The problem is
that I have not seen anything from him in several months. The result is
little going on. Kyle made the commit about this issue and that appears to
be the only commit since jkim's commit to the kmod last October.

Can someone in emulators comment?
