   Hi nethackers,

   I've committed some changes that let you customize the way messages,
   prompts and the status display.

   3 variables decide how it works:

   nethack-prompt-style
   nethack-status-style
   nethack-message-style

   nethack-prompt-style and nethack-message-style can be either :map or
   t. :map means they display or prompt for info in the map buffer, very
   similar to the way tty nethack displays messages and prompts.

What if it is set to nil?  Perhaps that should work the same way as t.

   nethack-status-style can be :map :mode-line :header-line or t which
   display the status lines in the map buffer, mode-line, header-line or
   the status buffer.

I think its more elispy to use 'map, 'mode-line, 'header-line, for
the possible values here.

   Please test it and let me know if you break it. I've been using it
   with everything set to :map.

   Things to do: currently only reading a full line with the :map style
   uses a minor mode and a seperate keymap. The other input functions
   still use the minibuffer. I'd like to use a minor mode for those
   functions too so you can switch away from the nethack buffer at
   anytime, even when being prompted to have your possessions identified.

This would be a good thing.
