I'm the original author of tools.conf.patch (see b2fc363a),
odidev just bluntly updated it to match the newer version (4c6a76a4)!

* Enable aarch64

Flag --enable-xmlsec1 was added in 6413d574
as part of the package upgrade, without any explanation.
No open-vm-tools' library or program is linked against libxmlsec1.
./configure --help and sources suggests that it's used for vgauth
component that is currently not enabled.

This flag was added in 26895cf9
because of switch from openssl to libressl. Since we have returned
back to openssl, this flag is not needed anymore.

icu-libs is huuuge (31 MiB) and it seems that it's not needed, at
least for basic functionality; Unicode works even without it.

It requires root privileges to run.

It seems that it's actually not needed, contains already deprecated
modules (e.g. vmxnet, vmblock) and is even installed in wrong location
- it should be /usr/lib/modules-load.d or /etc/modules-load.d, not
/lib/modules-load.d.

To avoid bloating /var/log with many log files from vmtools.
