[Bug 776103] Re: package open-vm-dkms 2011.03.28-387002-0ubuntu2 fails to build against 2.6.39 kernels, due to missing linux/smp_lock.h

[Nate Muench]

I don't know if it's because I'm inpatient, or not, but I think I'm
going to give this a try.  I just got to make a small revision to the
code (I got to uncomment a couple of lines).  This will be done to the
packaging, not the branch (not now, at least).

The revision (aka the uncommenting of lines) is so I have some sort of
packaging (for open-vm-toolbox) to look at.  So I can see what remains
in the code after the removal of the GUI Toolbox.

This is the plan:
-Stuff that goes into the open-vm-toolbox package will go into the open-vm-tools package.  At least the stuff that isn't commented out.
-All package dependencies for open-vm-toolbox will added to the open-vm-tools dependencies.
-Any other packages that require open-vm-toolbox, will point to the open-vm-tools package.

I should have almost finished product in a couple of days, for everyone
to try.  Will it work, I don't know?  As a minimum, I would like open-
vm-toolbox (transitional or not) to successfully install/update without
any issues.
