Don't take the above statement to mean I am against the idea.  I
personally think the use of control code for the mouse cursor quite
acceptable (that's why I tested the code with 
"#define SC_MOUSE_CHAR 0x03").

But, the consensus has been in favor of 0xd0.

Anyway, those who can accept less-good-looking mouse cursor can
have the option 

	option "SC_MOUSE_CHAR=0x??"

in the kernel configuration file.  That's the whole point, I think.
