I too would really like to see Virtualbox as a maintained package for 
Hipster.

It seems to me it would be a real help for new users coming from a 
Windows environment as they could still run their Windows apps virtually 
on top of OpenIndiana.

While KVM would also work well for this task, I think Virtualbox is a 
bit more user friendly...especially in the absense of virt-manager.

While we're talking about virutalization, is virt-manager something that 
could be ported to Hipster for managing KVM? Or if there is an old 
obsolete package, can we add it to the ever growing wish list of "nice 
to have" applications?
