I was thinking something similar - just xor the character cell
underneath the cursor.  The only tricky part is to make sure to undo
the cursor manipulation during any scrolls or screen writes.

I was also thinking about hooking the timer interrupt to support
blinking, but like you, I concluded it wasn't worth the effort.
