[ANN] TTYs, PTYs and telnet revisited

Folks,

A while back Ned Konz sent me some useful stuff related to the
TeletypeMorph:

- dynamic search for monospaced fonts for the prefs menu

- compatibility code to make TtyMorph work with his keyboard prefs
  (for moving control/alt/etc. keys around)

I've sucked the first into my tty project and also taken this opportunity
to fix (once and for all I hope) a very nasty synchronisation bug that
would cause drawing errors at random times under heavy load (think:
`top -d 0.1' ;-).  Smooth scrolling should be, err, smoother and all-round
performance a little better as a result too.

(No changes to the PTYPlugin.)

A new telnet.cs along with Ned's changesets for keyboard prefs are
available here:

Enjoy!

Ian
