Drowning in FIXMEs...

Well, under DOS VGA text mode, mouse cursor is like "gpm" mouse 
cursor, a character cell which gets inverted or otherwise 
highlighted in order to show where mouse is currently located at.
As far as I know, neither Wine nor Windows supports this
and SetConsoleCursorInfo really has no effect on mouse cursor,
anyway. So, under text mode, hide/show functions should do nothing.

However, under VGA graphics mode, show/hide cursor really should
call ShowCursor. And, if mouse driver is reset, hide count must
be reset to one and cursor must be hidden.

I have some more or less untested patch for show/hide somewhere
but the last time I tried to get that working I had to fix IRQ
handling, again, and after that I was too bored and too busy for
doing DOS stuff. Anyway, it will take probably about half a week 
until I have time for digging out the patch, which I will do if 
this thing is not fixed before that. I guess I should also dig 
my other DOS related patches and submit them as well, I don't know 
if they really help much but at least I would not have pending stuff 
in my computer.
