VMware5 port

I have spent a good deal of time last year attempting to
port VMware
5.5.x to FreeBSD.  Due to time, too many other projects and
a beginning
level of driver development knowledge (someday I will fix
this part ),
I do not feel I can continue on it.  To help others get a
little
further, I put up a description of the status[1] on my web
site.  Many
thanks to Orlando Bassotto's effort on a port of 4.5.2 from
which I
started.

To reiterate - I am offering an immediate cash payment of
$500, plus the
other, smaller, informal contributions that have been
submitted, to
whoever can merely commit to making vmware 5 work on FreeBSD
(6 or 7).

Upon delivery additional monies will be paid.  I am also
interested in
organizing ongoing funding to maintain the current status of
a vmware5
port with the intention of eventually implementing vmwares
proposed 3d
hardware virtualization into the FreeBSD vmware port.

I am cross-posting this to freebsd-hackers so as to spread
the word a bit
beyond freebsd-emulation.

Sean-
Thanks!  Much appreciated.  I hope someone can pick up where
this leaves 
off, and finish up the work.

Anyone tried compiling it?  I've had some troubles (on
7.0).

Eric
