From 0a5c88d206128069f2bdf2f6d4ff6a4ff3976f87 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: Adding the feature to add serial ports to a VMware/Player
 configuration via XML configuration file. Evaluating the parameter "<serial
 port="">, allowing values like "ttyS0" or "autodetect" ... If a client is
 running completely diskless (/tmp on RamFS) the amount of memory assigned to
 a guest is set to 30% (because of the redicilous vmware vmem file).
