Patching strip_ctrl_codes() is not a good idea. There are a lot of
sequnces that can appear in the prompt (see ctlseqs.txt from the
xterm tarball) and adding code for each one of them when someone
encounters it in his/her prompt is something that I do not like.
Either we fix it so that it handles all sequences properly or
MC should be changed to support it own prompt as discussed in
the TODO.
