It was surprisingly easy - the big problem was the projection colours,
which potentially still causes crashes for some bizarre reason. The
long term solution there is to adopt the Sangband projection colours
method.
As it transpires, Angband sup****ts 256 colours already 'out of the
box'. I think Mikolaj had one issue with platform sup****t.
I'd probably need to hand roll a patch for vanilla as there is several
differences to Angband. Let me know a low risk time to do this e.g.
following a release.
