init_color() in PDCurses

OK, along with the X11 and DOS ports, the Win32 port of PDCurses now has a
working init_color() and color_content(). You can try it out now via
anonymous CVS; otherwise you'll have to wait for the next release.

Limitations in the Win32 port: 1) Works only on NT family. 2) Works only
in windowed mode, and if called in full-screen mode, switches to windowed
(I could get around this with XP-only APIs); however, colors set in
windowed mode hold in full-screen. 3) Resets the font to the Default
settings, overriding any per-window (Properties) settings. 4) Cannot read
current palette -- only the registry settings. Calling init_color() will
reset to registry values + any mods made by PDCurses since initscr(). Some
of these might be fixable.

Limitations in general: as per my previous post. You can set colors 0-15;
0-7 are plain COLOR_WHITE through COLOR_BLACK, while 8-15 are the A_BOLD
versions of them. Remember, init_color() takes 0-1000 for each of its
color parameters, rather than 0-255 as you might expect.

examples:

init_color(15, 1000, 1000, 1000); /* white, full brightness */
init_color(COLOR_YELLOW, 667, 333, 0); /* classic "brown" */

Also, the palette is not reset on program exit, so you may want to
preserve it yourself (record the values at startup via color_content(),
and restore them via init_color() when you're done). Doesn't matter for
X11 of course.

And, I haven't forgotten OS/2, but for the moment it's not supported.
