The Xcursor library uses a custom format (.cur) for the cursor files.

XFree86 includes a tool (xcursorgen) that takes a set of .png files along
with a configuration (.cfg) file and generates .cur files.

Each .cur file contains a set of cursors at different sizes, each size can
include multiple images which will be used as an animation (the xcursorgen
manual doesn't mention that a delay in ms can be added at the end of the
.cfg entry for each image).  Use the existing redglass directory as an
example.
