It is a problem that certain valid image files will not generate correct 
cursors in SDL.  Some tileset editor in future will make new cursors and 
we'll have this problem again.  It needs to be fixed in the code...somehow.

I don't refer just to the color/B&W problem but mainly to the problem 
that the regular cursors.png turns into a near-garbage image when loaded.
