This is a regression. In every version of Emacs from 20 through 22,
`x-pointer-shape' is a defined variable when you start Emacs. On MS
Windows, at least, its default value is nil.
 
In Emacs 23 (on MS Windows, at least), evaluating `x-pointer-shape'
gives a void-variable error.
 
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-variable x-pointer-shape)
  eval(x-pointer-shape)
  eval-expression(x-pointer-shape nil)
  call-interactively(eval-expression nil nil)
 

In GNU Emacs 23.0.90.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600)
 of 2009-02-01 on SOFT-MJASON
Windowing system distributor `Microsoft Corp.', version 5.1.2600
configured using `configure --with-gcc (3.4)'
