Why not do like VMWare does: capture and hide the real mouse pointer,
and only show the one the guest OS renders on the screen? Then, deltas
would be all you need. VMWare has a special toolbar thingy for Win95
that detects when the emulated cursor hits the edge of the screen and
gives up control of the real mouse at that point so that it almost looks
like you just dragged the pointer right out of the window, but it also
has a key sequence that frees the real mouse pointer in case you don't
have the utility installed or enabled. The latter way wouldn't be so
bad; click on the window anywhere, and your real pointer disappears and
you pick up the other one from wherever you (or the OS) left it. Hit
something like CTRL-ALT-ESC and the emulated pointer stops and your real
pointer reappears.
