Hello hackers,

Currently, when one wants the user to enter data in a libdialog based
program, one uses the following function:

     int
     dialog_inputbox(unsigned char *title, unsigned char *prompt,
                int height, int width, unsigned char *result);

The problem this routine has, is that there's nowhere to specify the max
length of the input buffer (think gets vs fgets here). I know that not
many programs use this lib, or even if there are plans to EOL it, but
this change could be helpful IMHO. My suggestion is to create a new
function, e.g, dialog_inputbox_n that would let you specify the length
of the input buffer. Comments? Ideas? If people find it useful I can
come with patches, since the implementation would be trivial.

Cheers,

        Of course it runs NetBSD!
