[SDL] Cursor

[Matthias Weigand]

I think, what you want to do, is to set some default windows HCURSOR for 
your SDL window, right?
As i looked into the win32 code of sdl-1-2, it seems to be very difficult.
I would try to retrieve the mask and color values for a given default 
windows cursor and pass it to SDL. This should be possible with 
GetIconInfo/GetIconInfoEx and a subsequent call to GetDIBits (which 
needs a device context). But this seems to be a lot of work. Maybe 
someone has a better solution.
