Curses.Blinkenlights status character

I find it difficult to see what color the different dots (.)
are in the
Curses.Blinkenlights, even though my vision is good.  The
attached patch
changes it to use an asterisk (*) instead, making it easier
to see.
I've been chaning this locally for some time, finally got
around to
submitting a patch.

Since this is a personal preference thing, I have not
applied this
patch.  Every person may want a different behavior here.

However, I would be happy to apply a patch that introduces
and documents
(in the example .conf file) a configuration file parameter
to set the
character, defaulting to the old value.
