Dave,

  thanks for the review and here is the new patch. changes from the last version.

* add GPL license header
* remove stdbool.h
* complete function declaration
* add header file dependency in Makefile.
* fit VMWARE_VMSS to flag.

addition to the source file change,
* vmss file samples.
  for vSphere ESX, memory dump is part of the vmss file;
  for VMware Workstation, memory dump stores in a companion vmem file.
