OK, I am going to look into making the caret to change colour in 
OVR mode (the colour could be customisable one day). If we want 
to change the width as well to make it look like a block, this would 
really need to be in a fixed ratio to the caret height, for if we adjust 
the width based on character width then in the case of narrow 
characters the caret will be indistinguishable from the INS caret.

There is an additional problem that is linked to this; the new caret 
code is hardwired to draw black caret; the previous code used the 
xor functions which made it better at coping with dark colour 
backgrounds, and I would prefer to go back to that -- if there was a 
particular reason why the xor functions were not used, could your 
please let me know, before I mess things up?
