dsl f5b2286ba1 Support menu windows that preserve the underlying screen contents.
(Needs a libcurses fix as well).
No need to ponce about with __m_endwin (to remember we've done endwin()),
   the old recovery was wrong in any case - but I've left something that
   will do an explicit redraw.
Allow the 'help' text to be from a variable (and hence translated).
Fix the display of help so that the screen underneath is actually cleared.
Preserve the screen contents while displaying help - redraw is too hard.
Use endwin(); doupdate(); to do the full refresh when ^L is typed.
Move menus up the screen if they would hit the bottom with too few lines
   to show an item and the scroll text (happens with big titles).
Make 'y=0' center the window vertically - use of 0 means you can't have
   a menu starting on the topline, but this is unlikely to be a problem.
Make all the menu options settable from the control file, not just from
   dynamic menus.
Redo menu option list part of man page.

dsl 19605a628c Add extra command 'allow dynamic messages' which will push all texts through
the msgc translation service.
Allow for texts being NULL as well as "", don't use strlen() to test for "".

dsl b143b30e1c Accept variable names for menu titles and options to allow internationalisation.
Allow user code to define a hook to lookup message texts before any get used.
