MTTS support (and 256 color welcome screens)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Specification: http://tintin.sourceforge.net/mssp/

MSSP is designed to function as a more reliable way to advertise client 
features (and user preferences) to a game than the server implementing TERMCAP. 
Of particular note is its ability to quickly and unambiguously negotiate 
support for xterm-style 256 colors. Combining this a brief delay on connect to 
negotiate capabilities allows games to safely render 256 color welcome screens.

Clients currently implementing, or planning to implement:
TinTin++
MUSHclient (next release: 
http://www.gammon.com.au/scripts/showrelnote.php?version=4.93&productid=0)

Servers currently implementing:
ZetaMUCK
PennMUSH, potentially (you did ask me to submit the ticket!)
Various MUD codebases that I don't know of

Please disregard all references to MSSP above. MSSP has nothing to do with this 
feature request.
