Ok, my account on sf is "larkang".

Oh, and just so I'm sure, there are no legal problems with
this project right?

Yeah, I've been looking through the files so I at least
have a clue of what is there, and what's missing.
The bitmap cursors wouldn't be working anyway, since
I didn't add any code at all for that in QCursor,
but it's not really my top-priority.

at all in Windows programming, although I'm quite broke at the
