This #define was accidentally introduced in v.1.251 and removed in
v1.252.  The behavior of syscons WITHOUT the define is the same as
versions up to v.1.250.

This issue has been brought up several times before, and I myself
discussed it with sos recently.  The thing is we are in loose-loose
situation.  We can't have both: good-looking mouse cursor and national
character support.
