VBox integration in GNS3 0.8.2b on MacOS X Lion

Blah-blah-blah
One of my most used pieces of Python software, GNS3 (GUI for Dynamips) is on the way to become much more cool. New beta version (0.8) gained VirtualBox integration. No more pain with Qemu patching and pure performance on OS X! But current version have one "small" issue -- VirtualBox integration is not working out of the box. I sacrificed several hours of my life to debug gods, but issue solved.

Solution
First of all: you do not need follow these instructions. Qt4, SIP and PyQt4 already included in DMG. Just download and drag'n'drop it in Applications folder.
Second: install latest Virtualbox (4.1+).
And finishing touch:


mv /Applications/GNS3.app/Contents/Resources/VBoxPython2_7.so /Applications/VirtualBox.app/Contents/MacOS/
