added full Haiku OS support (non x86_gcc2)
* Haiku can be handled like UNIX in most respects
since it is POSIX compliant, has a UNIX-like terminal
emulator and uses ncurses.
* still the Glib platform macro is G_OS_HAIKU instead of
G_OS_UNIX, so the preprocessor conditionals had to be adapted.
* the only functional difference between a Haiku and UNIX build
is the default SCITECOCONFIG path.
We use the config path returned by Glib instead of $HOME,
so .teco_ini will be in ~/config/settings on Haiku.
Other UNIX ports appear to use the same conventions.
* Some Haiku-specific restrictions still apply:
* Haiku's terminal is xterm-compatible, but only supports
8 colors. Therefore only the terminal.tes color scheme
can be used and the terminal must be set up to
"Use bright instead of bold text".
* The terminal has artifacts. This appears to be a Haiku
bug and affects other curses applications as well.
* GTK is yet unsupported on Haiku, so there may never be
a GUI port (unless someone writes a QT GUI for SciTECO).
* SciTECO cannot be built with the legacy gcc2 used for
BeOS compatibility on Haiku. This would require too many
changes for an obsolete platform.
BeOS and the x86_gcc2 platform of Haiku will therefore
never be supported.
The PPC and ARM platforms of Haiku should work but are untested.
* a HaikuPorts recipe will be provided for the next regular
SciTECO release. This should hopefully allow installation via
HaikuDepot.
