- update to VirtualBox 4.0.0

Browse Source 
New Features:
  * Reorganization of VirtualBox into a base package and Extension Packs
  * New settings/disk file layout for VM portability; see chapter 10.1, Where VirtualBox stores its files
  * Major rework of the GUI (now called “VirtualBox Manager”):
  * Redesigned user interface with guest window preview (also for screenshots)
  * New “scale” display mode with scaled guest display
  * Support for creating and starting .vbox desktop shortcuts (bug #1889)
  * The VM list is now sortable
  * Machines can now be deleted easily without a trace including snapshots and saved states, 
    and optionally including attached disk images (bug #5511; also, VBoxManage unregistervm --delete can do the same now)
  * Built-in creation of desktop file shortcuts to start VMs on double click (bug #2322)
  * VMM: support more than 1.5/2 GB guest RAM on 32-bit hosts
  * New virtual hardware:
  * Intel ICH9 chipset with three PCI buses, PCI Express and Message Signaled Interrupts (MSI)
  * Intel HD Audio, for better support of modern guest operating systems (e.g. 64-bit Windows; bug #2785)
  * Improvements to OVF support
  * Open Virtualization Format Archive (OVA) support
  * Significant performance improvements during export and import
  * Creation of the manifest file on export is optional now
  * Imported disks can have formats other than VMDK
  * Resource control: added support for limiting a VM’s CPU time and IO bandwidth
  * Storage: support asynchronous I/O for iSCSI, VMDK, VHD and Parallels images
  * Storage: support for resizing VDI and VHD images.
  * Guest Additions: support for multiple virtual screens in Linux and Solaris guests using X.Org server 1.3 and later
  * Language bindings: uniform Java bindings for both local (COM/XPCOM) and remote (SOAP) invocation APIs
  * In addition, the following items were fixed and/or added:
  Bug Fixes:
  * VMM: Enable large page support by default on 64-bit hosts (applies to nested paging only)
