Mouse cursor does not use SDL cursor

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The mouse cursor in GrafX2 is drawn on screen with a software routine, 
pixel by pixel. This is very slow and needs the screen to be updated at 
each mouse move.
We should make the mouse handling routine use the real SDL cursor wich is 
much faster.
We need to change this cursor with the appropriate functions in the GrafX2 
engine instead of the software one, wich should eventually be removed.

The cursor drawing routine was changed a bit and is now much faster. A full 
screen
updaterect was done, wich was the cause for slow cursor.
However, using the hardware cursor with SDL isn't a bad idea.

Switching to "low priority"

Cursor drawing and erasing is done in graph.c around lines 2200-2700.
However, the basic mouse arrow in grafx2 uses 16 colors and SDL can only display
monochromatic cursor.
The XOR lines will be a bit tricky to handle, also. So maybe this can't be done 
or
will lead to a worse design

This will not be done. We need far more capabilities than what SDL can done 
with the 
cursor anyways (rotations, big cursors, multiple colors,...)
