I did some quick testing with these, and they do seem to work.

(Although your patches are now being mangled in another way: in addition
to the ">" before the "from:" line, the lines you add to the info page
that come out as a plus sign followed by an at sign followed by text are
now "helpfully" translated into "address@hidden", which makes them not
apply unless I manually adjust them.  Maybe just put your patch
sequences into a zip file and send that, to avoid all these issues?)

The third patch won't work with the -K/--rebindkeypad option, however,
since it doesn't handle escape sequences.  The attached patch (applied
after yours) fixes that problem for xterm, rxvt, Eterm, Konsole, and
xfce4-terminal: all of the major terminals nano supports except for
urxvt.  The problem with urxvt is that the double-escape sequence
handling needs to be revamped to make it work, since urxvt generates Esc
Esc [ 3 ~ (as in, Escape followed by the common escape sequence for
Delete), and I'm not sure how to do that properly without breaking the
iTerm stuff.
