use stdscr's maxx and maxy to set up the message window rather than hard
coding 78 and 22, respectively. The latter, combined with large messages
and a relatively small screen (and perhaps badly-placed menus), would seem

menu system would reject the menus as too small, but for others sysinst
would just crash.)

start of the URL so that the request will start from / (rather than

non-anonymous FTP). To make it clearer what's going on, make the

makes it slightly harder to figure out a password by reading over

message, after one control-c it looks like it's still sitting at the
last screen you were viewing even though it's actually at a shell prompt.
squelch the cleanup() in the SIGINTR handler to avoid this problem.
* while here, nuke the annoying space before the "sysinst terminated."
