S-Lang 1.4.7 or newer allows for maximum of 512 columns. 1.4.7 introduces
the new macro definitions SLTT_MAX_SCREEN_ROWS and SLTT_MAX_SCREEN_COLS,
which replace the old macro MAX_SCREEN_SIZE. Both of these new macros have
a value of 512.

I suggest that we alter the check in src/slint.c to something like that:

if ((COLS < 10) || (LINES < 5) ||
    (SLang_Version < 10407 && (COLS > 255 || LINES > 255)) ||
    (SLang_Version >= 10407 && (COLS > 512 || LINES > 512)))

Also the in-tree version of S-Lang should be brought to the current
version. Now we have 1.4.5 while latest stable S-Lang is 1.4.9.

Any thoughts ?
