vmmouse driver now in CVS

Hi all,

I'm pleased to announce that we finally got our act
together and got the vmmouse driver open-sourced and
committed to xorg cvs.

More details here: http://intr.overt.org/blog/?p=26

The only thing remaining is ensuring that the driver
only builds on x86[-64] (it will fail anywhere else).

The build.sh and build-from-tarballs.sh scripts are
fairly easily adapted (there is already at least
one example of using `uname -m` to conditionalise a
driver) but the correct course of action is unclear
to me with respect to jhbuild. Adam suggested that
something along the lines of xorg-sun-drivers would
be necessary, but then the onus is on the person
running the script to know to build the extra module.

Any suggestions?

I have attached the diff of build.sh. There's an
identical change to build-from-tarballs.sh.
