Yes, that is what I meant.  However, it doesn't work :-)

`set_mouse_sprite' does not generate the default arrow bitmap.  That
happens in the (misnamed) `_set_mouse_range' function, called by
`set_gfx_mode'.  So the mouse code gets linked in anyway if you set
a graphics mode.  I think we should change `set_mouse_sprite(NULL)'
so it _does_ generate the arrow bitmap.  Like in the attached patch.
