lynx-dev Another DOS patch for lynx

[Doug Kaufman]

I reviewed the INSTALLATION file as it relates to DOS and updated it for
the newly released version of  PDCurses 2.3. In doing this, I noted that
the getbkgd() patch for PDCurses that Wayne Buttles had made some time
ago was not being used because of an ifdef for ncurses version. I added
the HAVE_GETBKGD define to makefile.dos. This fixes some of the unusual
background color handling that was present in the PDCurses DOS port. At
some point, I wonder if we need to go through the code and make a
specific PDCURSES define for the DOS and Win32 ports, rather that using
the NCURSES defines and hoping that PDCURSES will work. I don't think
that I know enough about the different curses libraries to do this
myself.

I left the getbkgd definition in the PDCurses file "curses.h" the way
Wayne originally specified it. I am not sure that it really needs the
parenthesis surrounding it.

  V. Compile instructions -- 386 DOS
  
      Compiling for DOS with DJGPP is a multistep procedure.  First install
!     the c compiler and its libraries.  DJGPP, as distributed from the
!     usual DJGPP archives, will not successfully compile lynx.  You need to
!     "stubedit" your "cc1.exe" file.  The following parameters have worked
!     successfully:  minstack=800k, bufsize=64k.  To accomplish this, move to
!     the djgpp\bin directory and type the command:
          "stubedit cc1.exe bufsize=64k minstack=800k".
      Or do it interactively with the command: "stubedit cc1.exe".
