pragmas.
+ suppress unreferenced warnings.
+ make all dereferences in binding explicit.
+ regen Ada html documentation.

--disable-overwrite option was used, so that the subdirectory include
is listed first.
+ modify the make-tar.sh scripts to add a MANIFEST and NEWS file.
+ modify configure script to provide value for HTML_DIR in
Ada95/gen/Makefile.in, which depends on whether the Ada95 binding is
distributed separately (report by Nicolas Boulenguez).
+ modify configure script to add -g and/or -O3 to ADAFLAGS if the
CFLAGS for the build has these options.

and getmaxy in the Ada binding (report by Nicolas Boulenguez for
thread in comp.lang.ada).

+ spelling fixes for Ada95/samples/explain.txt
> fixes for Ada95 binding (Nicolas Boulenguez):
+ add item in Trace_Attribute_Set corresponding to TRACE_ATTRS.
+ add workaround for binding to set_field_type(), which uses varargs.
The original binding from 990220 relied on the prevalent
implementation of varargs which did not support or need va_copy().
+ add dependency on gen/Makefile.in needed for *-panels.ads
+ add Library_Options to library.gpr
+ add Languages to library.gpr, for gprbuild
+ revert changes to limit-checks from 20110122 (Debian #616711).

when weak-symbols are used, allowing the pthread configuration to
more closely match the non-thread naming (report by Werner Fink).
+ modify configure check for tic program, used for fallbacks, to a
warning if not found. This makes it simpler to use additonal
scripts to bootstrap the fallbacks code using tic from the build

* add hard-reset for rs2 to wsvt25 to help ensure that reset ends

+ add/use configure check to turn on project rules for Ada95/src.
+ revert the vfork change from 20100130, since it does not work.
+ continue integrating changes to use gnatmake project files in Ada95

work around by adding script to generate alternate makefile.
+ continue integrating changes to use gnatmake project files in Ada95
+ add configure --with-ada-sharedlib option, for the test_make rule.

environment variables may override system- and terminfo-values

+ improve handling of color-pairs embedded in attributes for the
extended-colors configuration.

Miroslav Lichvar).
+ fix build for --disable-leaks --enable-widec --with-termlib

(caveat - its maintainer removed support for older Linux systems).
+ modify Ada95/gen/Makefile to use shlib script, to simplify building
shared-library configuration on platforms lacking rpath support.

the terminal-interface-curses-aux.adb file which is now generated.

+ correct some functions in Ada95 binding which were using return value

Cygwin's linker, e.g., with configure options
--enable-broken-linker --with-ticlib

to build/run when NCURSES_OPAQUE is set.
+ add access-functions and macros to return properties of the WINDOW
structure, e.g., when NCURSES_OPAQUE is set.
+ improved install-sh's quoting.
+ use mkdirs.sh rather than mkinstalldirs, e.g., to use fixes from
other programs.
NCURSES_OPAQUE set, since we cannot pass a reference to
+ eliminate part of the direct use of WINDOW data from Ada95 interface.
+ fix substitutions for termlib filename to make configure option
--enable-reentrant work with --with-termlib.
+ change a constructor for NCursesWindow to allow compiling with
NCURSES_OPAQUE defined, since we cannot pass a reference to
an opaque pointer.
+ modify fix_wchnstr() in form library to strip attributes (and color)
from the cchar_t array (field cells) read from a field's window.

Ricardo Cantu).
+ improve tracing for form library, showing created forms, fields, etc.
+ ignore --enable-rpath configure option if --with-shared was omitted.

no longer relies on it.
+ disallow combining configure script options --with-ticlib and
--enable-termcap (report by Rong-En Fan).
+ remove tack from ncurses tree.
+ add a break-statement in misc/shlib to ensure that it exits on the
_first_ matched directory (report by Paul Novak).
+ add tack/configure, which can be used to build tack outside the
ncurses build-tree.
+ add --with-ticlib option, to build/install the tic-support functions
in a separate library (suggestd by Miroslav Lichvar).
