Re: VirtualBox guest additions build failure

Thanks! I recall previously, when the major changes I couldn't even
load the module; now the module loads despite the major change.

I also have to chmod 666 /dev/vboxguest; otherwise VBoxClient
--clipboard complains.

BTW - completely unrelated to the NetBSD VirtualBox additions, the
last released VirtualBox (6.1.22) has trouble working under at least
the latest insider builds of Windows 10 - none of the network adapters
are seen by the guests.
