Oops.  I didn't really read this before.  A cursor in 1st person would 
be a real problem to implement, and it's why we have the control scheme 
we have now.  But I agree: it is absolutely necessary.  What I had 
originally suggested for 1st person was to have a key you press to 
toggle the mouse between look and cursor, but some people didn't like 
that either.

And now I'm remember why I decided not to add special support for the 1P 
viewpoint.  It's a total pain and requires adding a special case to all 
our input/control code.

Perhaps it would be enough that when the HUD has focus (that is, a 
window is active) the mouse appear automatically.

I dunno.  This is complicated.
