Move the tty role/race/&c selection from wintty.c to role.c and remove
its references to BASE_WINDOW. Have curses call the same routine now
so that the player has the option to choose role, race, gender, and
alignment in any order and to confirm or override random settings
prior to starting play. Also if you went through "who are you?" then
final confirmation includes an extra menu choice to rename the hero.
It still has the quirk of sometimes remembering some of the previous
aspects when you re-pick a new value for some aspect which already
been selected.
The menus pop up on top of the copyright screen and that looks a bit
strange. I don't think core code has any way to erase that base
window without erasing the entire screen so to fix the strangeness
the window ports would need to do that before calling the selection
routine. I didn't do that because the very first prompt, "Shall I
pick ... for you? [ynaq]" shows up in that window rather than in a
popup over it, and having it be all by itself on an otherwise blank
screen seemed to be even stranger.
X11 and Qt both have more sophisticated selection routines so I
haven't tried to switch either of them to use this. They both use a
fancy role-selection-specific menu with all the aspects present at
once so this wouldn't fit without more work than I care to tackle.
