TODO:

        document recent additions to file formats (named parameters) in README

        refactor

        for "bicolor" mazes (maze flag "~4"), use edge/gate proximity rather than width

        lvl printer numeric suffix when ambiguous and sufficient room

        v/s lists in separate files

        config dialog

        double buffering and possibly in-driver frame-skipping
            and/or redraw avoidance

        fold bitmap renderer into main code

        no transparency by default

        figure out much earlier whether the plain-text status
           line will be displayed and do not scroll the extra
           line if it is not to be displayed

        optional flip scrolling: break the screen into nonants and
           scroll in one nonant steps (or as much of a nonant as
           possible) to keep the focus in the center nonant

        black background by default, transparency optional

        refactor backend-independent code to a separate file(s)

        refactor backend implementation code to separate files, compiling conditionally

        native bitmap support

        optional bright bgcolor-by-blinking support

        ansi escapes in data files and per-character and per-tile coloring

        otto fruit -- przl pear bnna, bouncy

        eliminate the numerous memory leaks (mainly in the file parsers)

        allow run-time maze switching (or just exec'ing?) via a
           built-in "command line" editor

        a level editor, perhaps?
