Building of vmware-server-1.0.3 breaks and exits with error code 7,
see attached build log.

As you might see, there's a message about not finding "vmblock-only":
/bin/sh: line 0: cd: vmblock-only: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden

Due to this issue, the vmware-package is useless until this is fixed. Nearly
the same problem occurs with vmware-workstation (5, 5.5 and 6) on all of my
machines.
