I'm pretty sure that John just moved the cursors that Orson built.  The 
PNG2cpp puts raw PNG data into cpp arrays.

Are you looking to build a new cursor library?

If you want to generate binary (white or black) cursors, you can save 
the icon as an XBM file from gimp.  Then 0=white and 1=black.  You can 
use the same PNG2cpp script to convert the file from XBM to a cpp array.
