Hmm, alright. But I still think the name is a little.. unpleasant looking.

set_mouse_sprite(NULL) doesn't hide the cursor. show_mouse(NULL) does, 
and that should continue to behave as normal. set_mouse_sprite(NULL) 
just takes the normal Allegro cursor, resets its colors if needed, and 
sets that as the cursor. Though if we're going to need the OS cursor 
selector anyway, I suppose we don't really need the altered behavior for 
the hardware mouse.
