There should be a warning that this version won't start snapshots taken by the
previous version.

> Changes:
> 
>   - Fix build error when compiling in debug mode on FreeBSD HEAD
>   - SemEvent?-r0drv/FreeBSD: Don't use tvtohz for an infinite timeout. 
>   - Some FreeBSD relate typos
>   - Enable shared OpenGL service. Completely untested due to lack of
>     appropriate hardware but it compiles at least 
>   - Add support for shared clipboards. Requires libXt
>   - FreeBSD: Implement preemption API for guest SMP and enable
>     it (slightly tested). Add neccessary RTMP* methods in userspace
>     for the frontends to detect the number of CPUs
>   - Runtime/semevent-r0drv-freebsd: Use a sleeping mutex
>     instead of a spinlock to fix the problems users are seeing
>     (assertions with debugging enabled) while still being able
>     to run on 100Hz hosts. No problems detected so far and Solaris

>   - Add support for curl
>   - Add VBoxSharedClipboard

> Ports Changes;

>   - Removed Qt3 include replacements (already upstream)
>   - Removed cosmetic X11 include path patch
