Changeset 4106 in vbox for trunk/src/libs/xpcom18a4/ipc/ipcd/shared

Message:

Add a VBox-specific environment variable that allows configuring the IPC
socket name without having to mess with LOGNAME or USER. Needed for
simple way to make VMs portable (having one VBoxSVC per VM, in
combination with separated VirtualBox.xml files through VBOX_USER_HOME).
