Also moves the font and window manipulation stuff in defaults.nh
further down the file, so that a tty users doesn't have to wade
through it all to find the character adjustment samples.
Add option windowcolors to control foreground/background
color of menu, message, status, and text windows.
(foreground color is the text color).
The value of the colors is window port specific, the
core code handles the storing of the strings only.

to allow common parsing in the core, and direct access to the
results by the window port.
Notes:
o Adds a new field, wincap, to the window_procs
structure for setting bits related to the preference
features that the window port supports. This allows
run-time determination of whether a particular option
setting is applicable to the running window port. A
window-port is free to support as many, or as few,
of the available options as it wants. Ensure that
only the ones supported have their corresponding bit
set in window_proc.wincap. [see chart in
doc/window.doc for help with that.]
o The settings I stuck into wincap for each window
port are almost certainly not accurate, so each port
team should review them. You should only include
the ones that you will actually react to and make
adjustments for if the user changes that option.
Without the setting in wincap, the option won't even
show up in the 'O'ptions menu.
o preference_update() added to the window-port
interface, so that the window-port can be notified
if an option of interest (an option with its
corresponding bit set in wincap field) is
changed.
o provided a genl_preference_update() routine in
windows.c and used it for all the existing
window ports since they don't have a functional
one of their own yet.
o this messes around heavily with iflags and the options
arrays in options.c
o I hope I didn't break any port's existing code. I
tried not to. The Mac however, in particular, should
be looked at because it suffered a namespace collision
with what I was working on around fontname. It had
Mac specific font stuff in options.c. Please test
the Mac.
+ attributes may exceed 18 for non-humans
+ update spell casting paragraph to loosely describe 3.3 style spell casting
+ correct description of the output of the '+' command

- allow spaces between the different possibilities
- add a missing null at the end of the list of prefixes to prevent index()
from going crazy
- slight re-wording of the Guidebook

This changes the way the flags.end_disclose array is used to
allow what this request is asking for. It should be backward
compatible with previous "disclose" options.
The order that the end_disclore options are stored:
inventory, attribs, vanquished, genocided, conduct
There is an array in flags:
end_disclose[NUM_DISCLOSURE_OPT];
with option settings for the each of the following:
iagvc [see disclosure_options in decl.c]:
Legal setting values in that array are:
DISCLOSE_PROMPT_DEFAULT_YES ask with default answer yes
DISCLOSE_PROMPT_DEFAULT_NO ask with default answer no
DISCLOSE_YES_WITHOUT_PROMPT always disclose and don't ask
DISCLOSE_NO_WITHOUT_PROMPT never disclose and don't ask
Those setting values can be used in the option
string as a prefix to each disclosure option
to get the desired behaviour for that option.
For backward compatibility, no prefix is actually required,
and the presence of a i,a,g,v, or c without a prefix sets
the corresponding value to DISCLOSE_YES_WITHOUT_PROMPT;
The actual prefixes used are controlled by the following in flag.h:
#define DISCLOSE_PROMPT_DEFAULT_YES 'y'
#define DISCLOSE_PROMPT_DEFAULT_NO 'n'
#define DISCLOSE_YES_WITHOUT_PROMPT '+'
#define DISCLOSE_NO_WITHOUT_PROMPT '-'
As far as the docs go, I don't know if I've got the *roff
stuff right. The TeX stuff looks okay when I converted it to .pdf.
This increments EDITLEVEL. If that is a problem, I can
add a routine to restore.c to perform a conversion of the old
values in flags. Let me know.
Incorporate a slightly cleaned up version of <Someone>'s patch to enable a
"pettype:none" startup option that allows one to start the game without a pet.
