From Bart...
When we are creating the console font for testing character widths,
we were not specifying width. Because of this, the created font's
average width might be larger then what we expect and we might
falsely detect that the font was inappropriate for playing Nethack.
Fix provides the width that we are expecting when creating the font.
From Bart...
Modified build configuration to use latest SDK available by default.
This change will eliminate the need for us to hard code an SDK
version into our configuration file and will eliminate the need
for developers to set the SDK version when they do not have the
matching SDK version installed. Updated the Install.nt file removing
the mention of having to set the SDK version.
When dgn_comp.l and lev_comp.l are processed by older versions of
flex, 'gcc -Wunused' complains when compiling dgn_lex.c and lev_lex.c
because flex creates 'static void yyunput()' and nethack doesn't use
it. Newer versions honor macro YY_NO_UNPUT to hide the offending
code, but that doesn't help with older versions (like the one
masquerading as 'lex' on OSX). Adding a dummy usage would probably
cause problems with other lexers, so change it from static to
'void yyunput()' as a 'sed' fixup in util/Makefile after flex has
finished. That will be a no-op when yyunput doesn't exist or isn't
static.
In addition to the sys/unix/Makefile.utl change, this checks in new
sys/share/{dgn,lev}_lex.c with the fixup in place.
When make uses 'makedefs -v' to create date.h, force it to create
gitinfo.txt all the time instead of just when that doesn't already
exist. Use 'make GITINFO=0' to get the previous behavior.
To skip it entirely, you need to do that and also make sure that
some file by that name already exists. 'touch dat/gitinfo.txt' or
perhaps 'echo "#no git" > dat/gitinfo.txt' would suffice.
Hide the scary perl command during 'make all' feedback in src/.
I'm not a shell programmer but this works fine for me when skipping
NHgithook::NHversioning because dat/gitinfo.txt is already present,
when creating dat/gitinfo.txt successfully, and when creation fails
because perl can't find NHgithook.pm. It hasn't been tested when
perl itself is absent.
Changes to be committed:

modified: include/unixconf.h
modified: sys/share/ioctl.c
github pull request #19 made reference to resulting code behaviour
being better when windows were resized when USE_WIN_IOCTL was defined.
The logic for including the necessary enabling code in the build in
sys/share/ioctl.c was an explicit "opt-in" strategy, so anything not
deliberately and explicitly listed was not able to take advantae
of the potentially useful code. The need to add #defines to that
list would have been perpetual as new platforms came online, and
unnecessarily restrictive for everything else.
This switches the logic to include the code by default now,
and thus
unless there is an explicit "opt-out" by uncommenting
AVOID_WIN_IOCTL in include/unixconf.h
Some platforms, and we have no way of knowing which ones, may have
to ensure that AVOID_WIN_IOCTL is #define'd.
