Why not just "emerge =app-emulationvmware-workstation-tools-VERSION"
and use the version that is already updated for Gentoo? You probably
have to merge the specific version of tools that matches your vmware
workstation version, so you might need to do something in
/etc/portage/package.mask to keep portage from trying to upgrade to
newer versions.
