Updated PKGBUILD for vmware-server-modules 2.0.2

Question

Hi.
I have updated the PKGBUILD for the vmware-server-modules and added patches for kernel 2.6.35 and 2.6.36.
The package is currently marked as an orphan, so I'll have to adopt it do upload the changes, right?
Could someone please take a look at this, and say if it is good enough.
I haven't really made any changes other than adding patches for kernel 2.6.35 and 2.6.36, but since there are some 'not so positive comments' following this package in AUR maybe there is more that should be done?
It works on my x86_64 2.6.36-arch install.

i don'T think that there will ever be a PKGBUILD for VMWare, because it's commercial software... but i posted alot of hints in the "Package Configuration Problems" Forum...
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … highlight=
nearly each posible problem is described there... if u still have problems, post ur errors and anything u got about it there, and i try to help u.....
