[campcaster-support] Campcaster on Windows under VMware Player: It kinda works!

Hi,

At this weekend's SummerCAMP event, Micz Flor suggested that we try to use
the free (but not Free) VMware Player application to create a virtual
desktop running Ubuntu that we could then install Campcaster on.

I tried this today, and am pleased to report that it kinda works. I say
kinda because the performance isn't as good as under a native install; it
plays out fine, but the window redraw seemed a bit slower.

Anyway, the use case for this would be especially for people who would be
interested in trying out Campcaster (and Linux) without completely having
to install Linux. It may also be an option for users who insist on using
Windows.

The howto is here: http://code.campware.org/projects/campcaster/wiki/VMware

Please feel free to update the howto document with your own findings.
