it's the old background characters that need to be updated, not spaces.
While here, simplify and also fix the bug introduced in 1.20 (that
lost the default color) - actually use the results of wbkgdset().
term.h #defines lines, pad_char and no_color_video macros which conflict
with existing curses code. We change lines to alines and nlines depending
on use, pad_char to padchar and no_color_video becomes no_color_attributes
but with a strong alias from no_color_video.
See the Single UNIX Specification, Version 2 :
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908799/xcurses/can_change_color.html
Also, add the functions :
use_default_colors();
assume_default_colors(fore, back);
(from ncurses) that allow the terminal default colours or user-specified
default colours to be used.
* 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.
(this is a requirement of SUSv2) - the old macro behaviour can be
restored by defining _CURSES_USE_MACROS.
Changed function prototypes to use ANSI style.
All externally visible functions now have ANSI style declarations.
