* Modified __init_getch to use termcap handle that has been allocated
(_cursesi_genbuf) instead of refetching it.
* Make wgetstr support erase - this is not a full blown SUSv2 version
but it is a start.
* Added code to __restartwin to restore meta and cursor visibility states
* Added code to __stopwin to disable meta.
* Added the *line group of functions for drawing character lines.
* Added function derwin.
* Added function copywin.
* Modified both overlay and overwrite to use copywin.
* Updated man page with new functions and fixed minor format glitch.
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.
