All,
I've updated the open-vm-tools packages that have been floating around to the latest release - 4/25/2010 - for those that are interested.
There is quite a bit of new additions/changes over the past year such as the addition of a fuse driver for vmblock devices, vmxnet3, pvscsi, etc.
SRPMS and .spec's available here:
