The curses interface already has a hack to keep 'Count: 12', 'Count:
123' intermediate multi-digit counts out of its message recall history
for ^P, but it was flushing real messages when getpos()'s 'autodescribe'
reported what the cursor moved over. Overload the count hack to support
putstr(WIN_MESSAGE, ATR_NOHISTORY, text)
(which is what custompline(SUPPRESS_HISTORY, ...) eventually calls).
The conditional logic for when to create the 'count_window' was pretty
convoluted. This simplification has the same semantics but I don't
have PDCURSES to actually verify that.
Noticed while testing the history suppression: if you have DECgraphics
enabled and look at a graphics character on the map, the topline shows
x description of x
where 'x' is displayed as it appears on the map (line drawing char).
^P for msg_window:single knows about that and reproduces the effect if
you recall such a line. But msg_window:full/combination/reverse didn't
know about that and dumped it as-is into text output, ending up with a
strange 8-bit character for 'x' instead of the line drawing one.
I think other rendering schemes will be unaffected by this. It's just
duplicating what is done for msg_window:single.
Extend 'putstr(WIN_MESSAGE, attribute, string)'s attribute so that
'custompline(SUPPRESS_HISTORY, ...)' can work with ^P's message
history like DUMPLOG history, in order to keep autodescribe feedback
and intermediate prompts for multi-digit count ('Count: 12', 'Count:
123') prompts out of recall history. The old autodescribe behavior
could easily push all real messages out of the recall buffer when
moving the cursor around for getpos, and the count behavior looked
silly for a four or five digit gold count if you set the msg_window
option to 'full' or 'combination' and viewed them all at once.
Other interfaces may want to follow suit, but this doesn't force them
to make any changes. I added a hook for "urgent messages" that might
be rendered in bold or red or some such and/or override the use of
ESC at --More-- from suppressing further messages, but there aren't
any custompline(URGENT_MESSAGE, ...) calls (potentially "You die...",
for instance) to exercise it. Other people have implemented similar
feature it different ways and I'm not sure whether this one is really
the way to go since the core needs to categorize each message that it
deems to be urgent. MSG_TYPE:stop may be sufficent, although MSG_TYPE
matching can entail a lot of regexp execution overhead at run-time.

Allow sys/share/random.c to be included in the build
always, even if USE_ISAAC64 is defined, by making most
of its contents conditional in that case.
That avoids Makefile tinkering when going back and
forth between USE_ISAAC64 and not during testing.
Back out '#include "date.h"' so that cursinit.c won't be recompiled
every time any other file(s) need to be compiled. It doesn't need
patchlevel.h either. There is already a straightforward way to fetch
the copyright banner lines from version.c.
The splash screen (ascii art spelling "NetHack" preceding the normal
copyright lines) was invisible when showing white text on white-ish
background. Make it honor !guicolor.
"Shall I pick a character's role, race, gender and alignment for you?
[ynaq] (y) " was too wide to accept the answer on the same line on
an 80-column display so "(y) " was placed on the second line. That's
constructed in the core; change the construction to omit " a" when
using "character" rather than a role name. (tty shortens it by omitting
the default " (y)"; with " a" gone, it could revert to normal prompt.)
Also a bit of lint cleanup and some reformatting of cursinit.c....
The inventory window used a line to say "Inventory:", which is pretty
useless, and that was the only window showing such a label.
Also don't duplicate the "Not carrying anything" text from core.
Symset:Blank sets all the map symbols (except STRANGE_OBJECT) to
<space>. The status lines for !STATUS_HILITES force status to use '$'
instead of ' ' for the prefix before ":1234" for gold, but the status
lines for STATUS_HILITES did not. tty ended up with ":1234" for gold.
win32 and curses both ignore the prefix and construct their own, but
since win32 uses the map symbol for that it must also be ending up
with ":1234" (I assume; I haven't seen it). curses is forcing '$' for
the prefix, even on the rogue level.
This attempts to fix win32 without be able to test the result. I've
left curses alone.
