I found these other tools :

These are much simpler than the official VMWare opensource tools, and they can be compiled (almost) directly in Haiku ! I tested the clipboard sharing, the pointer cursor location, and the shared folder. Works very well.
With the VMTools sources, I made a small utility which regularly syncs the Haiku mouse with the host mouse by calling "set_mouse_position". It does not work very well (the cursor is flashing, dragging does not always work), but it allow the mouse to enter and quit the VM window just by touching the edges. 
Consider it as a proof of concept ;-)
An input device would probably work better, but I don't know how to do this :-/

PS : I have sent Haiku binaries and modified sources of the original tools to Karl.
