Static makes the data only accessably to the module (or C file) it's 
declared in.  The actual declaration of mouse_pointer is in mouse.c 
located in src/dgpp so only the mouse code can use it.  To change 
the mouse_pointer to your own bitmap using set_mouse_sprite and 
then make your data the same as the data in mouse_pointer_data 
array also declared as static in mouse.c.  It's probably the colors 
you want to change right, 255 being the inside of the mouse and 16 
being the outline. 

Hope that helped 
from Dan Gold...
