In general, you can run

	src -n /bin/rio

to find the source file for a binary (well, for main).
If you do this, you'll find that aux/vmmousepoll and
aux/vmwarefs have no distributed sources (and not
even debugging symbols) as per my agreement with
VMware (as you guessed).  You can poke around in
/mnt/vmware to see what kinds of things the programs
give access to, though.
