http://access.thelounge.net/harry/usr-lib-vmware-modules-source.tar.bz2
replace the "-" with "/" to find out the real path
dunno now where i found the patch months ago (also needed for 3.2 and still working)

patched sources from my running installation
AFAIR even the patch itself contained
VMware Player is included and also installed in the Workstation Software

VMwareWorkstation 8.0.3 doe snot fix the compile issues
so i had to backup and move back this working ones after update
