feature request: menucolors/statuscolors patches + autopickup exceptions

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi,

I'd love if you could enable autopickup exceptions using the compile-time 
option AUTOPICKUP_EXCEPTIONS.  I'd also really appreciate the menucolors patch:

and statuscolors:

here's hoping these don't cause problems with the port!

I have already been playing with menucolors and statuscolors, but they are not 
yet in the official build. Will try to include them soon, and check out 
AUTOPICKUP_EXCEPTIONS (I do find the current default behavior of just picking 
up anything annoying myself too).

I would think it would be better to bypass menus entirely, implementing them in 
the Android UI instead.  It's extremely awkward to use the keyboard-based menus 
when limited to the soft keyboard (for instance, on a Nexus One).  See, for 
instance, how menus are dealt with in the Windows GUI version of Nethack, or in 
the iPhone port.

i'd very much want it to be toggleable. those of us with a physical keyboard 
don't want to have to switch to the touchscreen to drop an item :)

Yes, that seems reasonable.  I never liked the menus in the Windows version, 
for instance, but I'm reallyl not enjoying the extreme dependence on the soft 
keyboard when I play Nethack on my phone.
