Assumes guest tools ISO has already been copied into the VM by including ":vm_options => [ 'download_tools' => true ]" in your definition. Needs its filename included in the postinstall_files array, this is already present (but commented) out in some definition templates. For OS X guests change "linux.iso" to "darwin.iso" and for Windows to "windows.iso".

Overhauled the script to work for both Linux and OS X guests. Need a better method to get the user name since Linux guests use "veewee" while OS X guests use "vagrant". This could be resolved by using "veewee" as the standard user as well in the OS X guest template.
