Merging my input buffer flushing patch for nmap_tty.cc. This uses
tcflush() for UNIX and FlushConsoleInputBuffer() for Win32. The more
keys that have been queued up, the more of a difference these functions
seem to make. That's not to say that they're slow when there's just one
:) I've tested it on Windows XP and my Linux box, and it works great on
both. If it actually causes some problems, it won't be hard to reverse.
