Adding open-vm-tools package to Fedora Atomic

[M. Edward (Ed) Borasky]

I've used Boot2Docker - it's "point, click and ship Docker hosting" for
Windows or MacOS X and it bundles the open-source piece of VirtualBox to
get that done. I haven't used it on a Mac but on Windows you download an
installer and run it. It installs VirtualBox, Windows MSYS Git and the
Boot2Docker Linux infrastructure.

You double-click on a desktop icon and it creates a VM for the Linux Docker
host, fires it up connected to a VirtualBox host-only network and gives you
a command line window in the VM where you can do "docker run" on anything
from Docker Hub, or build your own images and containers.

My own personal testing is down a different path - I'm testing Atomic as a
guest in the "native" Windows 8.1+ (Client) Hyper-V. I've hit a few bugs
with Fedora, most notably
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1097772, but I have gotten
Atomic to boot and talk to the command line - next step is to hook up
networking and verify that containers can talk to, for example, a browser.
