I can't speak for everyone though. Seems to me that more and more games are using the animated cursors system. Shouldn't you elevate this?

I work on Wine in my free time, and am really not terribly experienced.  To implement animated cursors, I have to alter some *very* important parts of Wine, and so my code has to be written pretty much perfectly.  So, to answer your question, it is the best *I* can do.  I have no idea how long it will take me to get animated cursors implemented.  You are more than welcome to go ahead and implement them yourself or hire someone to do it for you, though.  :)
