- Update to version 0.4
  - Backup destination path is shown in logfile (feature request 2806034)
  - Extracting of default folders is working again; somewhere (probably in 2.0), the CLI-output
    from VBoxManage for extracting the default folder has been changed (bug 2815159)
  - Output of vboxtool does now contain 'backup' (feature request 2813155)
  - Sessions are paused in stead of saved prior to backup (feature request 2805829). Pauzing 
    has is faster and, more important does not create .sav files (for preserving state). This 
    makes the restoring proces much simpler, because one does not have the state files into
    account.
  - Auto start en stop stopped working in Ubuntu Jaunty (bug 2789649). The init system 
    is changed in Ubuntu, so that processes don't wait for each other (hence faster boot). 
    The workaround, is using 'nohup' in vboxtoolinit.
    Reported bug in Ubuntu: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/372633
    After the mentioned bug is solved, maybe the workaround must be reverted, depending on the 
    solution.
  - Modifying vboxtoolinit to work with OpenSolaris/Solaris (bug 2527710). Modified 
    vboxtoolinit into su_command="su - $vbox_user -c". the dash is key, as it sets up the 
    environment properly.
  - Configurable backup folder (feature request 2213713)
  - Added a generic -nologo for VBoxManage command (feature request 2393874).
  - Expanded readme.txt, added configuration details (feature request 2275085).
  - The change of output format of "VBoxManage list vms" in 2.2 breaks vboxtool (bug 2775886). 
    This is solved to add a command option --long, whenever VBox 2.2 or higher is used.
  - When issuing vboxtoolinit, it produced an error. Removed backquotes from command 
    sections  (bug 2317839).
  - Documented backup option in help (feature request 2216423).
  - Added logging to ~/.VirtualBox/vboxtool.log (feature request 2275101).
  - Pause state was not detected. VboxTool gave state unknown when a session was in paused 
    state. Now, the correct state is returned (bug 2318332).
  - Command 'vboxtool stop' did not stop sessions. Apparently, the session did not react on the
    command 'acpipowerbutton' which should give a smooth shutdown by the OS it self. Now
    vboxtool issues a 'poweroff' command which is essentially the same as pulling the power plug.
    Being very effective, but not so nice for the OS. (bug 2317852)
  - Added option 'vboxtool showconfig', showing config files vboxtool.conf and machines.conf
    from /etc/vboxtool (feature request 2275280)
  - Modified output of 'show' and 'showrun' command for consistency and easy text manipulation
  - Code refactoring, changed all variable name: consistent separator '_'
