Actually, you can. QDDisplayWaitCursor in Quickdraw.h. There's no reason
why a Cocoa app couldn't call that API also - although, as has been
noted, users are trained to associated "wait cursor" == "app has
crashed" and force quit the app, so the wait cursor is not the best
choice to indicate that your app is actually still working.
