(get_window_cursor_type): Replace BOX cursor on images with a hollow box cursor if image is larger than 32x32 (or the default frame font if that is bigger). Replace any other cursor on images with hollow box cursor, as redisplay doesn't support bar and hbar cursors on images.

;;; Commentary:
;;
;; This package defines functions for inserting and manipulating
;; clickable buttons in Emacs buffers, such as might be used for help
;; hyperlinks, etc.
;;
;; In some ways it duplicates functionality also offered by the
;; `widget' package, but the button package has the advantage that it
;; is (1) much faster, (2) much smaller, and (3) much, much, simpler
;; (the code, that is, not the interface).
;;
;; Buttons can either use overlays, in which case the button is
;; represented by the overlay itself, or text-properties, in which case
;; the button is represented by a marker or buffer-position pointing
;; somewhere in the button.  In the latter case, no markers into the
;; buffer are retained, which is important for speed if there are are
;; extremely large numbers of buttons.
;;
;; Using `define-button-type' to define default properties for buttons
;; is not necessary, but it is is encouraged, since doing so makes the
;; resulting code clearer and more efficient.
;;

;;; Code:


;; Globals

;; Use color for the MS-DOS port because it doesn't support underline.
