The 'O' menu's 'list' for MSGTYPE settings showed truncated versions
of really long message strings but didn't show anything except the
hide/stop/norep setting for ordinary length ones. 3.6.0 showed the
latter correctly but suffered buffer overflow for the former; the
fix for that had a typo/thinko in it.
In nethackw, there can be conflicts between menu accelerators and an extra
choice accelerator. For example, when engraving the using fingers options
conflicts with the unselect all menu accelerator. The extra choice
accelerator should take precedence.
console port. The fix implements a console back buffer which
significantly reduces the number of calls made to WriteConsoleOutputXXX
and eliminates the lag users have been experiencing.

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.
Noticed while testing the fix for the recently reported clairvoyance
bug. I saw a '1' move onto an 'I', then when it moved again the 'I'
reappeared. The remembered unseen monster couldn't be there anymore
if the warned-of monster was able to walk through that spot, so
remove any 'I' when showing a warning (digit) to stop remembering an
unseen monster at the warning spot.
Nobody has ever reported this so fixing it isn't urgent, but fixing
it is trivial so I'm doing it in now (without the clairvoyance fix).
