You won't need that. The guest additions have been incorporated into
LilyDev.
My patch for the CG will reflect this change.
If you have problems resizing the VM window to full size, try to change
the Display->Graphics controller to VBoxVGA in VirtualBox settings.
You can activate clipboard sharing in General->Advanced->Bidirectional.
