Part of the logging facility is not exploitable until virtualbox is built in debug mode, for this reason the VBOX_LOG, VBOX_LOG_DEST and VBOX_LOG_FLAGS env vars are ignored.

I have modified the ebuild, patch attached, to change the building mode to support the env vars as described https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/VBoxLogging, probably it might be useful to put a notice to the user in pkg_postint()
