[Mono-winforms-list] DefineCursor not implemented exception in Mono1.1.10

[Peter Dennis Bartok]

First question:
  DefineCursor boils down to a driver specific method, and the Mac driver 
does not implement it (yet). On the other platforms it is fully implemented.

Second question:
  Chances are that 1.1.6 did not yet have DefineCursor implemented on all 
platforms.

Third question:
  You can implement the missing method in the OS X driver, that'll get you 
around the exception. Or you can simply remove the line that throws the 
exception.

Our (the SWF team's) focus for now is on Linux and Win32, for the time being 
we're dependent on community contributions for OS X.

Cheers,
  Peter
