major Curses UI revision: initialize curses as late as possible
* relies on a patched version of Scinterm that allows you to
construct Scintilla objects, send messages etc. before Curses
is initialized.
The Scintilla and Scinterm submodules have been updated.
* This once and for all fixes batch mode and stdio redirections
in batch mode on all Curses platforms and operating systems.
* Fixes the ^C-does-not-interrupt bug on ncurses/UNIX.
See #4.
* On ncurses/UNIX we will still do a newterm()-initialization.
This allows us to keep stdout/stderr alone in case they are
redirected. This effectively allows redirecting SciTECO's
output into a file even in interactive mode.
ncurses/UNIX now behaves like, e.g. PDCurses/win32a and GTK+
in this regard.
* Curses environment variable handling fixed.
The environment registers are exported into the process environment
so that Curses environment variables can be set/modified by the
SciTECO profile.
* Use term.h for accessing terminfo now.
Explained set_window_title() limitations.
* fixed interruption via SIGINT. If the UI is waiting for user
input, SIGINT is effectively ignored instead of letting the
next character fail always.
* Updated sciteco(1) and sciteco(7): More options, environment variables
and signals documented. Also rewritten DESCRIPTION section
(different modes of operation).
