[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#514181: list WineD3D as installable guest addition

[Robert Millan]

Package: virtualbox-ose
Version: 2.1.2-dfsg-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

This patch adds WineD3D to the menu list as an installable guest addition
(in addition to the official guest addition CD).

WineD3D provides Direct3D for Windows guests by wrapping calls to the OpenGL
implementation in VBox.

After talking with Michael over the preferred method for distributing it, I
setup a site that offers WineD3D images for download:

  http://aybabtu.com/rmh/wined3d/

with a static link to the latest CD image, which VBox can use:

  http://aybabtu.com/rmh/wined3d/pub/latest/wined3d.iso

so the attached patch registers a menu entry that will fetch that image
when user requests it.
