[PATCH] preparing libcurses for terminfo

[Roy Marples <roy%marples.name@localhost>]

Hi List.

curses(3) currently uses termcap(3)
I'm working on changing it to use my terminfo implementation instead, 
and have come across some pitfalls.

For whatever brain-dead reason, terminfo defines commonly used words as 
macros, such as lines, columns and pad_char. There is also a macro 
conflict with a NetBSD only extension, curses_color(3).

I've prepared a patch for libcurses to fix this - renaming **lines to 
**alines in the __window struct and pad_char to padchar. I've renamed 
the function no_color_video to no_color_attributes and added a strong 
alias to that from no_color_video so we're still binary compatible.

This allows libcurses to compile using term.h, but retains everything 
termcap. I'll be comitting this soonish, so any eyes or concerns should 
be raised now.

Thanks

Roy
