Hi!
Here's a couple of really low priority fixes to how "word chars" for mouse
selection are determined.

Patch 1 (adds "-./") is an epitome of "apply if bored": for two decades,
only gpm used this, and it always ignored the defaults.  Bill Allombert made
a second implementation, "consolation", and we wasted a bit of time figuring
out why mouse selection is so limited.  As consolation now overrides the
defaults too, this patch will be helpful only for whoever makes a third user
of this code...

Patch 2, besides making a handful of non-ASCII symbols work the same as
everything else, also stops people from mysteriously losing that 'ü' after
naive gpm -l "-A-Za-z0-9_./".
