There are components which could be added:

After GSOC is over, anyone of Haiku community could continue student's work ?

I think there are several developers that would be willing. The student also
expressed interest in long-term maintenance.

As several core developers use VirtualBox for testing, there is little chance
of this code being abandoned.

I have put together two packages to make showing off the code to the
VirtualBox team
and the Haiku community easy...

In such cases it is recommended to have single code tree, but
experimental functionality disabled by default (at build time or
run-time) rather than 2 code trees.

This is an easy todo... the video driver does work and is stable, i just
didn't want to slow down screen updates to get dynamic resizing.

Well, yes, I think this work should be integrated into main VBox code
tree (even if not built by default, just like FreeBSD which is not
officially supported by Oracle).

That makes sense, we have the facilities to build and ship the module on our end.

The work should be MIT-licensed.

I'm pretty sure Mike is ok with this (however I will get confirmation via this ML), some sources / headers need some header license cleanup... Is there a preferred format?

Thanks!
