We could either start with his spec or roll our our own. We might need to make a special "virtualisation" repo which will hold open-vm-tools or push that back into "extras". There is also the kernel-vm rpms and prebuilt vmware guests which can go either route. http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=1722 http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=2189 on my increasing todo list: document the creation and maintenance of the vmware guests (still 4.5 and 5.0).
