* This version should be a Thompson NFA, using backtracking only
  for backreferences, so it should be much safer than PCRE (GRegex).
  Search times should be linear and there should be no way to cause
  stack overflows (unless we would generate backreferences).
* Importing the lib makes sure we don't add another compile-time
  dependency. Also, we could implement our own regcomp() which
  translates directly from TECO patterns.
* This is still WIP and currently only works with the ASCII version.
  The widechar version does not define re_comp() and re_exec().
* Apparently we can't have an ASCII and widechar version at the same time,
  so we must build two libtool libraries and somehow mangle the names.
* Ideally the widechar version will also work with UTF-8 strings.
* An alternative might be to import the Gnulib regex module.
  How does it choose the encoding anyway?
* Or we could just use Oniguruma - but this would have to be a new
  external library dependency.

* There are patches on top of Scintilla as were before
* Scinterm has been switched back to the upstream repository and there are unreleased
  commits - especially for out-of-tree builds.
* Lexilla hasn't been released since my troff lexer was merged.

* This fixes F< to the beginning of the macro, which was broken in 73d574b71a10d4661ada20275cafde75aff6c1ba.
  teco_machine_main_t::macro_pc actually has to be signed as it is sometimes set to -1.

* teco_cmdline.pc is not correct after an error occurred.
  Therefore start_pc is initialized with teco_cmdline.effective_len.

* ALL keypresses (the UTF-8 sequences resulting from key presses) can now be remapped.
* This is especially useful with Unicode support, as you might want to alias
  international characters to their corresponding latin form in the start state,
  so you don't have to change keyboard layouts so often.
  This is done automatically in Gtk, where we have hardware key press information,
  but has to be done with key macros in Curses.
  There is a new key mask 4 (bit 3) for that purpose now.
* Also, you might want to define non-ANSI letters to perform special functions in
  the start state where it won't be accepted by the parser anyway.
  Suppose you have a macro M→, you could define
  @^U[^K→]{m→} 1^_U[^K→]
  This effectively "extends" the parser and allow you to call macro "→" by a single
  key press. See also #5.
* The register prefix has been changed from ^F (for function) to ^K (for key).
  This is the only thing you have to change in order to migrate existing
  function key macros.
* Key macros are enabled by default. There is no longer any way to disable
  function key handling in curses, as I never found any reason or need to disable it.
  Theoretically, the default ESCDELAY could turn out to be too small and function
  keys don't get through. I doubt that's possible unless on extremely slow serial lines.
  Even then, you'd have to increase ESCDELAY and instead of disabling function keys
  simply define an escape surrogate.
* The ED flag has been removed and its place is reserved for a future mouse support flag
  (which does make sense to disable in curses sometimes).
  fnkeys.tes is consequently also enabled by default in sample.teco_ini.
* Key macros are handled as an unit. If one character results in an error,
  the entire string is rubbed out.
  This fixes the "CLOSE" key on Gtk.
  It also makes sure that the original error message is preserved and not overwritten
  by some subsequent syntax error.
  It was never useful that we kept inserting characters after the first error.

* This is used for error messages (TECO macro stackframes),
  so it's important to display columns in characters.
* Program counters are in bytes and therefore everywhere gsize.
  This is by glib convention.
