new_item, free_item - create and destroy menu items

       Juergen Pfeifer.  Manual pages and adaptation for new curses by Eric S. Raymond.

       The  function  new_item  allocates  a new item and initializes it from the name and description pointers.
       Please notice that the item stores only the pointers to the name and description.  Those pointers must be
       valid during the lifetime of the item.  So  you  should  be  very  careful  with  names  or  descriptions
       allocated on the stack of some routines.
       The  function  free_item  de-allocates  an  item.   Please  notice  that  it is the responsibility of the
       application to release the memory for the name or the description of the item.
