Nathan Whitehorn 1971864966 Revert r241818 that updated dialog to 20120706. This turns out to horribly
break mixed form dialogs in conjunction with the FreeBSD termcap, making
the bsdinstall partition editor Add dialog, among other things, completely
nonfunctional. This restores dialog 20110707.

# Module: dialog.py
# Copyright (c) 2000 Robb Shecter <robb@acm.org>
# All rights reserved.
# This source is covered by the GNU GPL.
#
# This module is a Python wrapper around the Linux "dialog" utility
# by Savio Lam and Stuart Herbert. My goals were to make dialog as
# easy to use from Python as possible. The demo code at the end of
# the module is a good example of how to use it. To run the demo,
# execute:
#
# python dialog.py
#
# This module has one class in it, "Dialog". An application typically
# creates an instance of it, and possibly sets the background title option.
# Then, methods can be called on it for interacting with the user.
#
# I wrote this because I want to use my 486-33 laptop as my main
# development computer (!), and I wanted a way to nicely interact with the
# user in console mode. There are apparently other modules out there
# with similar functionality, but they require the Python curses library.
# Writing this module from scratch was easier than figuring out how to
# recompile Python with curses enabled. :)
#
# One interesting feature is that the menu and selection windows allow
# *any* objects to be displayed and selected, not just strings.
#
# TO DO:
# Add code so that the input buffer is flushed before a dialog box is
# shown. This would make the UI more predictable for users. This
# feature could be turned on and off through an instance method.
# Drop using temporary files when interacting with 'dialog'
# (it's possible -- I've already tried :-).
# Try detecting the terminal window size in order to make reasonable
# height and width defaults. Hmmm - should also then check for
# terminal resizing...
# Put into a package name to make more reusable - reduce the possibility
# of name collisions.
#
# NOTES:
# there is a bug in (at least) Linux-Mandrake 7.0 Russian Edition
# running on AMD K6-2 3D that causes core dump when 'dialog'
# is running with --gauge option;
# in this case you'll have to recompile 'dialog' program.
#
# Modifications:
# Jul 2000, Sultanbek Tezadov (http://sultan.da.ru)
# Added:
# - 'gauge' widget *)
# - 'title' option to some widgets
# - 'checked' option to checklist dialog; clicking "Cancel" is now
# recognizable
# - 'selected' option to radiolist dialog; clicking "Cancel" is now
# recognizable
# - some other cosmetic changes and improvements
