     This is a hack to avoid the self.oVBoxMgr.constants.MachineState_Running
     uglyness that forces one into the rigth margin...  Anyone using this module
+    ugliness that forces one into the right margin...  Anyone using this module
     can get to the constants easily by:
         import testdriver.vbox as vbox
         if self.o.machine.state == vbox.MachineState_Running:
+        from testdriver import vboxcon
+        if self.o.machine.state == vboxcon.MachineState_Running:
             do stuff;
+    For our own convenience we have a global variable 'vbox' that refers to the
+    instance of this class so we can do the same thing from within the module
+    as well (if we didn't we'd have to do testdriver.vbox.MachineState_Running).
+    For our own convenience there's a vboxcon attribute set up in vbox.py,
+    class TestDriver which is the basis for the VirtualBox testcases. It takes
+    care of setting things up properly through the global variable
+    'goHackModuleClass' that refers to the instance of this class(if we didn't
+    we'd have to use testdriver.vboxcon.MachineState_Running).
