This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
bogus or overly complex and really needed to be done more consistently
and sanely throughout - no question about it. Done.

Some changes of my own to make screen saver configuration a little
more sane, and also make it easier to get to the keyboard/screen
setup from the options menu.
I still have a _very very annoying_ display bug which occurs when a menu
item causes a submenu to be displayed - the screen repaints for the original
menu (which is restored upon return from the submenu) are off by about 4
characters. I've tried restoring the screen, the cursor position, you name
it - same deal. Grrrr! This commit is my first step in trying to get someone
else to help me look into this one since I'm just tearing my hair out at this
point!
1. Use new dialog menu hacks (no strings, just arrays of dialogMenuItem structs)
so that I can create composite menus with radio/checkbox/... items in them,
removing some long-standing UI bogons in various menus. This work isn't
finished yet, but will be done in two phases. This is phase one.
2. Remove all the script installation stuff. I never got time to document it,
it was arcane and it just complicated much of the code. There are better
ways of doing this if I want to do auto-driven installations later.
3. Remove much dead code and otherwise attempt to remove as much historical
grot as possible so that this code is easier to hack on. This is also
a two-stage process, phase one of which is now complete.
This looks like it was developed offline, and is being spammed over the
top of the existing. "That's fine by me! I dont really care how you do
it, just get it in there..." said Jordan in a conversation a short while
ago...
multi part stuff centralized.
The final check is backwards or something so it always said it failed,
even it it didn't.
Fixed tcpip address check to not be stupid, 10.0.255.1 is legal.
Root floppy (which actually may be able to go completely away at some point
soon!) is now loadable from ftp/nfs/dos as well as CDROM and (of course)
floppy.
Fix more problems on Poul's Gripe List.
ftp installation method should now function. We'll know as soon as my
make release builds the floppies. I'm just committing this out of my
release tree now so that it doesn't get clobbered again.
Justin can see it.
2. Attempt to fix the redisplay problems in label.c some more. Not clearing
the screen each time is certainly faster, but it's causing all sorts of
problems.
