I have put together a simple program that will test for the presence of
the vmmouse device and return 0 if it is present or 1 otherwise.

http://intr.overt.org/misc/vmmouse-detect-1.0.0.tar.bz2

I don't know what the best way to integrate this into the installer and
live-cd startup flows is. It might be fine to run it from a script as
is, or you might prefer to insert the code directly into some pre-
existing program (although the need for a segfault handler will probably
make that hard).

If you want this code to have some definitive upstream home, I can look
into hosting it in xorg git, but right now it's just the tarball on my
website.
