Hi,

this is the second version of the new openvmtools package, based on
the comments of Thomas. I cleared up the code, but stayed with some of
my earlier decisions. I'm waiting for opinions.

Changes v1 -> v2:
  - Moved to section System tools from Hardware handling.
  - Unnecessary comments removed from both openvmtools.mk and Config.in.
  - Select is used in options instead of depends on.
  - $(LINUX_DIR) is used now when compiling kernel.
  - Vmblock-fuse comments cleaned up.
  - The package now does not copy the dnet-config script. One less hook.

What I did not change:
  - Initscript. I still think start-stop-daemon is an overkill for here.
    Please explain me why is it better in this case.
  - LDFLAGS variable is still used with procps, it can't use $TARGET_DIR.
    Why can't we compile a package with LDFLAGS?
  - CUSTOM_DNET_CPPFLAGS is still needed, it won't compile otherwise.
    Same, why can't we use custom FLAGS?

Kind regards,
Karoly
