It looks like I could use xcursorgen, but its manpage mentions much
stuff I do not know about and that there are no further references for,
i.e. stuff that has to be in a configuration file. I was hoping to find
a program that would do it so I would not have to read about more
details, but if I have to read that, which is also ok, I wish the man
page would have mentioned it. It seems like another of these man pages
like the BSD documentation that necessary info got removed because of
copyright reasons.
