This is the first update for this cycle. The purpose being to get the package to build with Saucy kernels.  There will be more because there's still work to be done on the package.

2 modules were added to the 3.9 kernel, so those won't be compiled/installed.

There are issues (incompatibilities) with GCC 4.8, so I've suppressed the errors with a CFLAG, which will hopefully be addressed with the next upstream release.  There are issues with the vmhgfs module, which may be related to the issues with GCC. The vmxnet module does work.
