Well, a problem with that is that the vmx file available at haiku-files.org requires additional hackery to work with our alpha vmdk images. Specifically, it requires the user to edit the ide0:0.fileName parameter to match that of the vmdk file, else a "File not found: haiku.vmdk" error popup will be displayed.
A possible workaround would be to change the name of the image from haiku-alpha.vmdk to haiku.vmdk.

Correction, the second sentence makes no sense, it should read:
Specifically, it requires the user to edit the ide0:0.fileName parameter value to match the name of the vmdk file, else a "File not found: haiku.vmdk" error popup will be displayed.

nightly vmware archives for hrev35765 and newer now contain:
- haiku-nightly.vmdk
- haiku-nighlty.vmx
- blank-bfs-2048mb.vmdk
To note, revision 475 of Build-O-Matic branches/rewrite2 is the version that makes this possible. Also, the PHP on HaikuFiles.org will need to be updated to not display .* .
Build-O-Matic doesn't support adding additional files to the archive. For now, the front page of haiku-files.org links to the .vmx inside berlios, which is good enough for me.
