You need to *|touch /etc/vboxinst_vboxflt |*and to apply  patched 
vboxconfig.sh to update,
As per manual on https://github.com/jimklimov/vboxconfig_sh

I sort of "rolled my own" 5.0.14 per russell and  jimklimov instructions 
and patch:

And now I made form myself also 5.0.16:

But I am not sure for binary-redistribution rights and since it is 
binary from VirtualBox.org,
probably not going to be inside OI  before VirtualBox is built and 
published on OI itself as Virtualbox-OSE,
so it needs contribution and maintaining.
