Because multiple window ports are supported on Windows
now, even in the same executable and selectable via
config file in some cases, some adjustments became
necessary. There will likely be some further refining
of this over the next day or two.
List of changes:
Move Windows startup from sys/share/pcmain.c and
into its own sys/winnt/windmain.c so that it can
be modified to fix some current breakage, and
allow altering the order of some things.
There is startup processing code that is common to
all of the Windows WindowPorts, but that startup
processing code needs to have no dependency on
any one of those WindowPorts.
Yet, during startup processing, some of the initialization
routines can end up calling NetHack functions that
expect an active Window port underneath, and if there
isn't one, routines like pline, impossible, panic can
end up invoking null function pointers.
Place a new file sys/share/safeproc.c, in which a complete
window port is available for early startup processing
purposes. It's WindowPort name field is set to
"safe-startup" just for reference. The prototypes in
include/winprocs.h require that SAFEPROCS be
Usage:
windowprocs = get_safe_procs(0);
initializes a set of winprocs function pointers that ensure
none of the function pointers are left null, but that's all it does.
windowprocs = get_safe_procs(1);
initializes a set of winprocs functions pointers that ensure
none of the function pointers are left null, but also
provides some basic output and input functionality using nothing
other than C stdio routines (no platform or OS specific code).
The conditional code related to WIN32 has been removed from
sys/share/pcmain.c
The code common to all of the Windows WindowPorts calls
get_safe_procs() almost immediately to ensure that
there is a set of WindowPort winprocs available.
There are two ways to enable curses in the build. Either set the
environment variable PDCURSES to a folder containing a PDCurses repository
OR place the PDCurses folder alongside the NetHack source repository.
appropriately.
Renamed ntassert to nhassert. (Naming mistake caused by using ntassert
at work).
Re-ordered a few more includes to get window headers included before
nethack headers.

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.
