Follow-up Comment #9:

Looks good.  'make check' passes so I checked it in here
(https://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/2cd31365c84a).

I did notice some tweaks that I think would make it even nicer.

The Matlab documentation for the cursor shapes is at
https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/matlab.ui.figure-properties.html.

1) The "cross" shape in Matlab seems to have a gap at the center so you can
see what is at the center.  Octave's behavior is to use the "crosshair" shape
for both "crosshair" and "cross".  It would be nice to separate them.  In the
DMZ archive the crosshair.png already has the necessary cut-out.

2) The "topl"/"botr" shape in Matlab is a double-arrow, but a single arrow in
Octave.  It seems like the DMZ icon "bd_double_arrow.png" would be a more
similar replacement

3) The "topr"/"botl" shape in Matlab is a double-arrow, but a single arrow in
Octave.  It seems like the DMZ icon "fd_double_arrow.png" would be a more
similar replacement.

4) The "left"/"right" shape in Matlab is a double-arrow, but a single arrow in
Octave.  It seems like the DMZ icon "sb_h_double_arrow.png" would be a more
similar replacement.

5) The "top"/"bottom" shape in Matlab is a double-arrow, but a single arrow in
Octave.  It seems like the DMZ icon "sb_v_double_arrow.png" would be a more
similar replacement.

6) The "fleur" shape in Matlab is a 4-way arrow that looks like they combined
"left" + "top" icons.  In Octave, it is very different and sort of looks like
a hand.  Maybe it is possible to manually merge the DMZ icons in to a "fleur"
shape?
