Make the cursor completely optional
For embedded use, it's convenient to be able to disable the cursor completely, without having to audit and fix up all your third-party code (e.g. Mozilla Firefox). Add -nocursor and -cursor server options to enable and disable the cursor. The default is still -cursor, but embedded users can run the server with -nocursor to hide the cursor regardless of what application developers do.
