libpayload: Add PDCurses and ncurses' libform/libmenu
PDCurses provides an alternative implementation of the curses library standard in addition to tinycurses. Where tinycurses is really tiny, PDCurses is more complete and provides virtually unlimited windows and the full API. The PDCurses code is brought in "vanilla", with all local changes residing in curses/pdcurses-backend/ In addition to a curses library, this change also provides libpanel (as part of the PDCurses code), and libform and libmenu which were derived from ncurses-5.9. As they rely on ncurses internals (and PDCurses is not ncurses), more changes were required for these libraries to work. The build system is extended to install the right set of header files depending on the selected curses implementation.

+PDCurses for SDL
+================
+
+This is a port of PDCurses for SDL.
+
+
+Building
+--------
+
+. On *nix (including Linux and Mac OS X), run "make" in the sdl1
+ directory. There is no configure script (yet?) for this port. This
+ assumes a working sdl-config, and GNU make. It builds the library
+ libpdcurses.a (dynamic lib not implemented).
+
+ With MinGW, run "make -f Makefile.mng". This assumes SDL is installed
+ in the standard directories. The MinGW makefile accepts the optional
+ parameters "DLL=Y" and "DEBUG=Y", as with the console version. (Wide-
+ character support is not yet implemented for SDL.) Both makefiles
+ recognize the optional PDCURSES_SRCDIR environment variable, as with
+ the console ports. Makefile.mng builds libpdcurses.a, along with
+ pdcurses.dll, if specified.
+
+
+Distribution Status
