e0abbde8cf Use a hash table to hold all the bindings info rather than a linked list.
Forms now have their own local bindings table so that anything
declared within a form is local to that form. This means you can
have fields of the same name in different forms.

Added inlined attribute setting for strings e.g. "This is \bold bold"

Added entry and exit functions for fields.

e5372aca25 Completely rewrite libforms so everything is done at runtime rather
than at compile time.

Should have same functionality as old libforms but with new mechanism.

Lots of new features that use the new mechanism are still to be added.

0305d2ddc1 Implemented height field for text fields so they can now be more than
one line long.

Fixed a bug in the input field with cursor positioning at the end of
the field.

Make the print_status function available to apps so they can print
status messages.

Updated the example for the new fib parser.

98c415953e Add all the necessary bits to use color if the terminal allows it.
You can now specify separate attributes for selected/not selected
cases individually for each field and also an attr for the form as
a whole so you can now have colored backgrounds for the form and
different coloured fields etc.

Update the example.

Change the copyright to a BSD style one.

62368d936e New forms library. This provides some basic functions for writing
input forms. It has the following simple fields:

Text fields: Just titles, labels etc.

Input fields: An editable text field that may or may not have an
initial default value.

Labelled input field: This is an input field that has an initial
informative entry in it but it vanishes when you start editing the
field.

Toggle fields: These are fields with a pre-defined list of options
which you cycle through using the space bar.

Action fields: These are button type fields that call functions when
they are selected.

A simple demo is included in examples.

ec3127d29c The start of a forms editor library. Currently implements text and
input fields. It reads a template file passed to init_forms(char *)
and creates a curses based form editor. See the examples directory
for a basic demo.
