This trivial patch adds support for the
use_default_colors function
to the curses module, if supported by the (n)curses
library.
This functionality is needed, if one wants to use
transparency in
a ncurses application.

Included is a corresponding patch for the curses test
module and the
curses module's documentation.

It would be nice, if this patch could be included in
Python2.3.

Checked in to the 2.4 CVS tree. One small change was required:
the method was defined with METH_VARARGS, but because it
takes no arguments, it should have used METH_NOARGS.
Thanks for your contribution!

I wish I'd known about this patch in time to check it into 2.3, but
no one assigned it to me. Off to look for any other dangling
curses patches...
