 When using the VirtualBox menu item "Install Guest Additions" it says it
 cannot find the guest additions and offers to download them. It seems like
 a better idea for MacPorts to provide them.

 I don't know if the virtualbox port should just always download and
 install them, or if they should be a separate subport. The attached patch
 implements the latter approach, but if we think that every user will
 always need the guest additions, then we can just add them to the main
 port.

 Roy, I'm Cc'ing you since you've done the most work on virtualbox lately.
 Any opinions on this?
