Moving off-topic, but please let me know if you set up a git repository for it as you did for vboxvideo. Do you have plans (applies to vboxvideo too) for how to merge changes to our code into the cleaned-up code? Of course, I am open to patches or suggestions as to how to simplify the code in our repository as long as they do not affect other platforms (vboxguest builds and runs for five different operating system kernels).
