The fight against IBeam goes on

Last night hit Google hard searching for a solution to this, I simply fucking hate the IBeam piece of crap icon!
The cursor icon set is hard coded, there is no way around that, or so it seems; the trick with Terminal's own IBeam is just a tease, to to the same globally, there is no other option than to (HEX) edit the CoreGraphics file... Boy, that looks like a lot fun... Fuck me.
These links are old, solutions that once worked... Well, it looks like it is going to be a funny next couple of days...

Cursor in CoreGraphics in 10.4
Cursor para zurdos
Help me find default cursor
NOOB trying to change Cursor: Mac os x 10.5.6
OSX Cursors location found
Editor Hexadecimal para Mac: Solucionado

Also, there is this safety net, which is exactly the opposite than the above... Or is it? Installing a haxie, for a different OS version, doing nasty symlink stuff, and all of that to use a product from a company (Unsanity) that seems to be closed...

Unsanity's Mighty Mouse DOES work on leopard !, Easy Hack
Leopard and non native crypto libraries

Why the hell does Apple make this hard to do such a trivial thing?
