Hi Neil, |

I guess that you're correct that it's been crippled a bit but |
| 21 |
according to this page it doesn't seem that bad to me: |

I don't personally need the USB stuff inside of VB so for me it |
| 26 |
might be enough. |

Anyway, if there's no special reason that I cannot build the OSE |
| 29 |
version on Gentoo AMD64 stable then I might go ahead and do it just to |

see what happens. |
