Separate out the details of how to link against ncurses and the panel library
into a separate file. Include this new file in both the top-level and samples
Mmakefiles and use the variables it defines to link against ncurses.
Document how to to use the ncursesN-config and pkg-config tools to find
the correct set of flags to link against ncurses. Using ncursesN-config
was suggested by Fabrice Nicol in a change he recently posted.
General cleanups.
extras/curs/Ncurses.options:
New file defining variables that control how to link against ncurses
and the panel library.
Document some ways of finding the correct set of flags.
Document how to override the contents of this file on the command line.
extras/curs/Mmakefile:
Include the Ncurses.options file.
Refer users to that file for controlling how to link against
ncurses.
extras/curs/samples/Mmakefile:
Import Ncurses.options instead of hardcoding the library flags here.
extras/curs/curs.m:
Shift vim modeline into our usual place.
Update copyright notice.
Point users to Ncurses.options.
extras/curs/samples/*.m:
Replace tabs with spaces.
Delete trailing whitespace.
Minor cleanups.
extras/complex_numbers/*.m:
Rename files containing submodules so that we can (correctly) build
this library without first building a source file mapping.
extras/complex_numbers/samples/Mmakefile:
extras/complex_numbers/tests/Mmakefile:
Tell the C compiler where the header files for libcomplex_numbers
are.
extras/curs/samples/Mmakefile:
Pass the -I option to the C compiler via the CFLAGS variable, not
the MGNUCFLAGS variable; the latter just causes the mgnuc script
to halt option processing and construct an invalid command line
for the C compiler.
extras/curses/*.m:
Rename files containing submodules so that we can (correctly) build
this library without first building a source file mapping.
extras/curses/mcurses.m:
Style and formatting fixes.
extras/curses/sample/Mmakefile:
Pass the -I option to the C compiler via the CFLAGS variable.
This file-specific setting will override a default setting of expandtabs
in $HOME/.vimrc.
*/Makefile:
*/Mmakefile:
As above.
tests/hard_coded/.gitignore:
Don't ignore the purity subdir. This ignore must have been left over
from when purity.m was a test in hard_coded, not hard_coded/purity,
and it ignored an executable, not a directory.

Branches: main, release
Cleanups for extras/curs.
extras/curs/samples/Mmakefile:
Build all the demos in this directory.
extras/curs/curs.m:
Define the type `panel' as a foreign type. Remove casts from the C
code that are now redundant because of this.
Convert to four-space indentation.
extras/curs/curs.m:
extras/curs/samples/*.m:
Fix overlong lines.
s/io__state/io/
Use state variables for passing around the I/O state.
Format foreign_procs as per our coding standard.
Estimated hours taken: 10
Added a more comprehensive and more faithful ncurses and panel
binding.
curs/Mmakefile:
curs/curs.m:
curs/samples:
curs/samples/Mmakefile:
curs/samples/demo.m:
Added.
