How do you create a .cur (for a mouse cursor), from a GIF image file?
What tool or process can I use?

What is a CUR file? A CUR file is a static Microsoft Windows cursor file format. Basically, they are stationary images identical to ICO (icon) files in every way except the extension. Both CUR and ICO are established on the basis of the Device-Independent Bitmap DIB (Device-Independent Bitmap) specification.
You need to use a cursor creator, which is pretty much just a bitmap with some header data. I'd use Irfanview if you do not use Visual Studio or what not. If you use Visual Studio, just create a new cursor, and copy and paste the image data right into the editor... I'm sure I could whip up a tool that does this for you on a file basis, but I'm sure they are many tools out there already.
