Virtualbox forum user "mpack" has created another great tool which provides the following features:

• Reads VDI,VHD,VMDK or RAW, writes VDI.
• A simple GUI Interface.
• A CLI interface too (for people who like that kind of thing!)
• Ability to discard unused blocks from the clone (no need to run SDelete/zerofree first).
• Ability to enlarge the maximum size of a virtual disk.
• User choice to either keep the old UUID or generate a new one for the clone.
• Some useful diagnostics about the source VDI, such as the partition map and the internal fileystem.
• Better feedback while cloning: a progress bar and an estimated time to completion.
• It seems to be significantly faster than "VBoxManage clonehd".
• Open source.
