This was caused by character set incompatibility between message and map
windows. Apparently, Nethack is using IBM character set (CP 437) but fonts
were create for Windows ANSI codepage. I fixed most of it by changing
character set of the fonts except for the Rogue level. I had to make changes
to src/drawing.c for Rogue level since most of Windows fonts are not capable
of displaying control characters (char. code<0x20)
And of course, disabling IBMGraphics option fixes it all.

-Adds Rogue-level ascii support.
-Also removes unicode support.
Some other build script tweaks as well.

It's not great, but the best I can do without her looking like some
sort of Zombie (most of the tiles try to follow rules - dark-green=zombie,
green=gnome, blue=dwarf, etc. in order that the player can recognize the
patterns, rather than concentrating too much on the details).
Often, the yn_function "choices" parameter is not set, so for a non-keyboard
GUI (compact mode is for handheld computers with a stylus), the windowport
has to parse the prompt to find out the posible input choices. I got the
parsing wrong.
Fix the Qt code so it compiles wth Qt 2.1 again (Install.Qt still claims
the code works on Qt 2.0 and above). One or more of the changes made this
week broke compilation on my RedHat Linux 6.2 system. Qt 2.1 is still the
most recent Qt shipped by RedHat for this version.
- "Saved game" dialog (could be useful in other ports - plain C code used)
- "splash screen"
- compact mode cleanup for 240x320 displays
- messages-on-map overlay display
- allows online reading of Guidebook in HTML format (coming soon)
