Vmware 5.5.0 beta enables running 64 bits guest os'es. This is beta software but
it might interest someone. I hacked a very crude ebuild based on the 5.0.0.

To use this ebuild one must go the the site in the URL and download the .tar.gz
version. To download this beta one must register with vmware.

I'll add this ebuild, but only if you join the vmware herd and actually maintain
it.  I had enough with the 5.0 betas to know that we should never, ever put
another beta of vmware in portage... *grin*

SO it's either that, or a WONTFIX until it goes final.
