* Added Bill's fixes for errors when compiling with WARNS=1
* Incorporated fixes to make usage of unctrl consistent in debug and
made improvements to ctrace - it now timestamps it's output better.
* Reduced the number of mallocs done by __init_getch by allocating key
structs in bunches instead of singly.
* Removed the shadowing of global declarations in newwin and subwin
functions
Make capability parser more generic (it is now also used by colour routines).
Note that the termcap file we use contains terminfo % escapes, which are
not always compatible with the termcap ones. We'll lose in those cases.
of the SYSV curses facilities. The added features are the collapsing
of arrow and function keysequences (as defined by termcap for the
terminal) into symbolic code returns thus relieving the application of
recognising multi-character key sequences. Other features are the
capability to perform a timed wait for a key (good for when you are
not sure if there is a keypress ready or not) and the capability for
turning off the inter-key timeout when assembling multi-character
function keys.
