Is there a better solution to determine the VM Provider? #40

When using VMWare, Vagrant sometimes trys to use VirtualBox as Provider even though there is not VirtualBox installed. This even happens if the VM Software is Installed first and Vagrant after.

I observed this on Windows and as well on Mac OSX. Removing the VirtualBox Provider Settings will fix this.

Maybe a solution could be an Optional vm.yml setting or an Vagrantfile Constant.

you have to startup vagrant via:

Windows: vagrant up --provider=vmware_workstation or as env: VAGRANT_DEFAULT_PROVIDER=vmware_workstation

MacOS: vagrant up --provider=vmware_fusion or as env: VAGRANT_DEFAULT_PROVIDER=vmware_fusion

The env variable can be placed in your user config (e.g. ~/.bashrc)
