no this is all wrong.  I can't spend 6 weeks studying virtualbox.  This
just has to work.

there is a source directory but it is useless.

[ruben@stat13 vboxguest-4.3.26]$ pwd
/usr/src/vboxguest-4.3.26
[ruben@stat13 vboxguest-4.3.26]$ ls
build_in_tmp  dkms.conf  do_dkms  Makefile  vboxguest  vboxsf  vboxvideo
[ruben@stat13 vboxguest-4.3.26]$ ls -l
total 18

drwxr-xr-x 3 root root  360 Mar 17 11:12 vboxvideo
[ruben@stat13 vboxguest-4.3.26]$

there is no config files, nothing.
