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.
Convert search in tty menus from pmatch to case-insensitive pmatchi;
convert search in X11 menus from substring strstri to wildcard pmatchi.
tty bug: if the menu is full screen, the search prompt and subsequent
user input clobbers the menu header.
Add pmatchi() to perform case-insensitive wildcard matching, and
pmatchz() which is also case-insensitive and ignores spaces, dashes,
and underscores like the type of matching done during wish parsing.
At the moment, neither is being used, although DEBUGFILES handling
uses pmatch and needs to be taught to distinguish between case-
sensitive and case-insensitive filenames so will eventually use
pmatchi when appropriate.
From a bug report two years ago, mithril armor should have color
HI_SILVER rather than HI_METAL. Tolkien describes mithril as "like
silver which never tarnishes". (The bug report had a more precise
quote, and a github URL for a patch which I've ignored.) The Amulet
of Yendor has material set to MITHRIL but I haven't changed its color.
All amulets are HI_METAL, so if any modification is needed for it,
change the material rather than the color.
Mithril-coats are displayed as cyan both before and after this patch,
so it's hard to tell whether any change actually happened.

The previous USE_OLDARGS worked with gcc on Intel, but was inherently
unsafe. This method is completely safe, just obnoxiously intrusive.
It you disliked debugpline*(), you're bound to hate this....
It should now be randomly disabled for a 3rd of Gehennom, to make things
a tad more interesting there. It's also disabled in Baalzebub's lair,
to make things a little more interesting.
Still don't know why the beetle is disappearing.
Adds the "sortloot" compound option, with possible values
of "none", "loot", or "full". It controls the sorting of
item pickup lists for inventory and looting.
Remove the requirement for <stdarg.h> that was introduced to lev_comp.
USE_STDARG still works. USE_OLDARGS required hackery but has been
tested and actually works, although I wouldn't trust it on platforms
where 'long' and 'char *' aren't the same size. USE_VARARGS didn't
require any hackery--aside from the conversion to core's pline code--
but has not been tested: <varargs.h> supplied with OSX won't compile,
with an #error directive that basically says "switch to <stdarg.h>".
I changed several printf formats of %i and %li to %d and %ld because
I'm not sure how widespread the 'i' variant was back in days of yore.
[TODO: avoid use of snprintf since pre-ANSI systems won't have it.]
