Introduce _fmt_ flavors of the menu functions that take a formatting string
so we can use fmtcheck(3) to check the formats of the messages strings.

Remove the advertising clause with the explicit ok from Perry E. Metzger.

Add msg_printf(fmt, ...), a function to display raw messages without
going through the message catalog.

Removing trailing whitespace.

Completely rework how tools/compat is done. Purge all uses/references to
_NETBSD_SOURCE as this makes cross building from older/newer versions of
NetBSD harder, not easier (and also makes the resulting tools 'different')

Wrap all required code with the inclusion of nbtool_config.h, attempt to
only use POSIX code in all places (or when reasonable test w. configure and
provide definitions: ala u_int, etc).

Remove msg_*.1 man pages for all the functions (they are in the wrong place
are a fair waste of directory space).

Add NetBSD RCS Ids.

Change msg_window() to return old window (temp buffer size isn't too important)
Change msg_promt_win() to create the window.
Number MSG_xxx from 1 (because 0 is NULL)

Add msg_prompt_win() that will prompt in the specified window (instead of
the default one), and with a box around the window if >= 3 lines.
Stop the char delete from killingthe RHS of any box.

Stop the char delete from killingthe RHS of any box.
Make msg_string a noop for invalid strings (might be quoted text).

produce lint free code.

Move the default path definition from msgdb.c to a new pathnames.h, as
required by KNF. This will also be required to allow msgc to be installed
into ${TOOLDIR} properly.

nuke msg_printf() and msg_printf_add().

const-ify strings as appropriate, and convert message 'numbers' from
ints to 'msg's. 'msg' is currently typedef'd as 'const char *', but it'll
become more complex eventually.

privatize msg_beep

nuke msg_{,no}echo, add msg_prompt_noecho

nuke msg_prompt_str, msg_prompt_addstr, and msg_table (unused), and make
msg_vprintf private.

provide APIs (currently mostly undocumented) to print pre-formatted
(table) text.

don't bother calculated up MAXSTR, especially since the value calculated
is _bogus_ in the face of printf-like message formatting! Instead,
calcuate the max size to format when the message window is set. We know
that we'll never want to format more characters than can fit in the window.

the skeleton now also needs stdlib.h

It was a bad idea to call a function 'beep'.
Rename it to msg_beep to avoid conflicts with the new curses.h.

- Include <string.h> to import the proto type of strlen().
- Add an empty line before inclusion of local header.

Import a simple message system with 'compiled' messages. Used by
the net system install program.
