What do the OS X guest additions consist of?

I was just wondering how are you guys making the guest additions... I know that the audio fix is a .kext, but what about video, how does that work? Also, is it possible for you to release a version of the guest additions that fixes the video ONLY? I know that they are being worked on, but I really want to be able to change the resolution of the screen by dragging it.

OS X guest additions do not exist.

The guest additions (for Windows guests) consist of:

*Video Part*
-Dynamic Resolution Resizing
-Seamless Mode
-DirectDraw 2D Video Acceleration
-Multi-monitor support
-OpenGL 3D acceleration
-Direct3D-to-OpenGL layer (WineD3D)
-Mouse pointer integration

*Other components*
-Time synchronization
-Guest Execute command
-Guest properties
-Shared Folders
-Shared Clipboard
-Memory Ballooning
-Memory Page Fusion

*3rd party components, that I also use*
-VirtIO network driver
-AC97 Audio driver for Vista/Windows 7

-----------
I think this is the full feature set.
I hope all of those features will eventually be available for Mac OS X guests too. Just replace the DirectX parts with CoreImage.

I know, but I was wondering how the dev team is making it work I like knowing how the software/drivers I use work so I thought the knowledge would be cool
