Upon delivery additional monies will be paid. I am also interested in organizing ongoing funding to maintain the current status of a vmware5 port with the intention of eventually implementing vmwares proposed 3d hardware virtualization into the FreeBSD vmware port. I am cross-posting this to freebsd-hackers so as to spread the word a bit beyond freebsd-emulation.
