The Debian way to fix v_increment

13widechar_horrors.dpatch

## 13widechar_horrors.dpatch by  <hesso@pool.math.tu-berlin.de>
##
## DP: This patch tries to cope with the fact that widechar support
## DP: in nvi is at best rudimentary.
## DP: Hunk 1)
## DP: * Due to "ch = *t", this code is not wide-char aware, so
## DP:   cast the value to a proper type so the KEY_ macros make
## DP:   the right choice.
## DP: Hunk 2)
## DP: * Printing of the in-/decreased number back into the screen
## DP:   buffer is not widechar-aware, either. Add a dirty fix.
## DP:   Cf. #497349.
