+- Removed an assert() in mvwin() when the window was moved outside the
+  screen area.  Some programs (including 'test_pan') assume they can try
+  moving a window,  then check the return value to see if it was actually
+  on screen.  c801354044

+- PDC_set_box_type() has been removed,  because it's an unneeded redundancy.
+  You can get double-lined or thick-lined boxes,  and/or rounded corners,
+  via the standard Curses wborder_set() function,  and it'll work with
+  ncurses and other libraries.  f8d87ed549  099fa2876c

-- Fullwidth characters.  For these,  we may need one font that is,  say,  8 pixels wide (for most characters) and one that is 16 pixels wide for the fullwidth characters.

+- Fullwidth characters.  For these,  we may need one font that is,  say,  8 pixels wide (for most characters) and one that is 16 pixels wide for the fullwidth characters.  That may be an extension of the above task of having fallback fonts : "Didn't find the desired glyph in the 'normal' font?  Maybe it's in a fallback font."  Alternatively,  we can make use of the fact that the Unicode-to-glyph table can have the same Unicode value twice.  The first one would point to a 'left' glyph;  the second to a 'right' glyph.  Probably the way I'll go...
