Based on the current functionality, that would be:
[x] Blinking
<x> Block
< > Bar
< > Hollow
[x] In non-selected windows

IMO, we don't have to be able to specify every detail of every option
in the menu -- so the width of the bar cursor should be left out.
Besides, I don't see how you can change that value via the menu.

I don't see any point in extending the cursor-in-non-selected-windows
functionality beyond the current hollow box cursor.
Specifically, I don't see any point in a blinking cursor in
non-selected windows.

I don't think a user is supposed to change buffer specific options
like that - Lisp modes may do that, or if needed, the user should
do it via a hook.

I don't know whether Options=>Save Options integrates with Customize
or not.
