bug#1485: 23.0.60; Elisp manual node Pointer Shape

[Drew Adams]

The node says this about the available pointer shapes:
 
 Use `M-x apropos <RET> x-pointer <RET>' to see a list of them.
 
But in MS Windows, M-x apropos x-pointer shows only this:
 
x-pointer-shape
  <v>: The shape of the pointer when over text.
  <p>: variable-documentation
 
Nevertheless, I can see various different pointer shapes in Emacs on
Windows. Isn't there a bug here somewhere (doc, program)?

 
In GNU Emacs 23.0.60.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600)
 of 2008-11-24 on LENNART-69DE564
Windowing system distributor `Microsoft Corp.', version 5.1.2600
configured using `configure --with-gcc (3.4) --no-opt --cflags -Ic:/g/include
-fno-crossjumping'

I have changed the text in the Elisp manual to clarify that the 
x-pointer-* variables only apply to X, and have removed the definition 
of x-pointer-shape from w32fns.c so it won't confusingly show up in 
apropos even though it does nothing on Windows.
