This is if you intend to ship binaries of your stuff, what's pretty uncommon in the linux ecosystem.
Distribution is usually done by, well, distributions.

Once looked them up in various cursor themes distributed on eg. kde-look.org to write a script¹ that "sanitizes" themes (ie. have all variants through symlinks)

Unfortunately, toolkits - let alone applications written on XLib/xcb - tend to differ in their opinion on what funky names to use...
There was an attempt for a freedesktop standard back in 2001 or so, but it miserably failed (to be adopted)

The hashes are hashes of original (unthemed) X11 cursor images which some applications look/ed up.

Cheers,
