lynx-dev dev.12 PDCurses patch

[Doug Kaufman]

I hadn't compiled with PDCurses for a while. Somewhere between
2.8.3dev.3 and 2.8.3dev.5 changes for PDCurses and GETBKGD appeared
in the code without any mention in the CHANGES file (or any messages
to the list that I recall). The changes break the GETBKGD action of
PDCurses (when patched according to the instructions in INSTALLATION).
At least when I compile the DOS version, the code from dev.3 was
correct and that from dev.5 was not. This reverts to the old behavior.
Does anyone remember why these changes were made and what problem they
were supposed to fix?

INSTALLATION gives the patch for adding getbkgd support to PDCurses,
but only talks about it in the DOS section. I would presume that the
patch actually applies to any platform using PDCurses.
