Excllent! I'll test this when I get home. Maybe it will support the unpached
2.4.19 kernel. We should probably also add:
RESTRICT="nostrip"
as it's the more correct way to prevent stripping.
This is also the first oppurtunity to test upgrades via the portage ebuilds.

I've created a tar ball with the files needed for a new vmware release at
http://leknor.com/gentoo/vmware-workstation-3.1.1.1790.tar.gz (I would attach to
this bug if upload was working)

# tar tzf vmware-workstation-3.1.1.1790.tar.gz
vmware-workstation/vmware-workstation-3.1.1.1790.ebuild
vmware-workstation/files/digest-vmware-workstation-3.1.1.1790
vmware-workstation/files/3.1.1.1790/90vmware

vmware-workstation/ChangeLog

This version does work with an unpatched 2.4.19 kernel (the linux/malloc.h issue).
I have added the stuff to add menu items to the KDE{2,3} Panels but it isn't
enabled. You can enable it by finding the line with "kde-not-yet" in the ebuild
and changing it to "kde". I'm waiting for feedback from [e-mail] on
Gentoo's policy on if non-kde apps can add themselves to the kde menus.
I updated /etc/init.d/vmware to "prettify" the output from the init script that
comes with the vmware package so that it looks more like the normal Gentoo init
messages. Oh yea, and errors during init are sent to syslog for a more perminate
record. I think that's all I changed.

If it is decided that we don't let non-kde apps add themselves then then this
should be ready to make offical. If we do allow non-kde apps to add themselves
then I need to make an edit and test it.
