I did my best to exempt some of the bigger aligned blocks from the reformatting
using the /* clang-format off */ and /* clang-format on */ tags. Probably some
that shouldn't have been formatted were anyway; if you encounter them, please
fix.
The clang-format tags were left in on the basis that it's much easier to prune
those out later than to put them back in, and it means that, modulo my custom
version of clang-format, I should be able to run clang-format on the source tree
again without changing anything, now that Pat has fixed the VA_DECL issues.
The intent is to look for platform-specific facilities for regex
matching, to provide portable MENUCOLORS configuration files.
This is a prototype implementation being committed to see if Windows can
use the POSIX regex implementation provided with the C++11 standard
library. If this works, I will write a harness for POSIX regexes and for
pmatch(), and those can be linked in by platforms as appropriate.
pmatch() should be used only as a very last resort, because it breaks
compatibility between platforms.
-Add a boolean option menucolors to toggle menu color
-Add MENUCOLOR -config file option
TODO:
-Better support for win32
-Support more windowports
-Update Guidebook
-Allow changing menucolor lines in-game

Using the material value SILVER in the "color"
field was wrong, no matter what the reason. I
suspect it was probably a mistake originally.
This patch does not alter the displayed colour for the
bug-fix release, but does correct the misuse of the
material.
