the window pointer and whether the position lies within the window
(suggested by Poul-Henning Kamp).

by Tim van der Molen).

* add hard-reset for rs2 to wsvt25 to help ensure that reset ends
the alternate character set (patch by Nicholas Marriott)

+ revert the vfork change from 20100130, since it does not work.

terminfo to termcap strings

Ensure that Gpm_Close() is called in this case.
+ modify install-rule for manpages so that *-config manpages will
install when building with --srcdir (report by Sven Joachim).
+ modify CF_DISABLE_LEAKS configure macro so that the --enable-leaks
option is not the same as --disable-leaks (GenToo #305889).

compile of make_hash and make_keys, improving cross-compilation of
ncursesw (report by Bernhard Rosenkraenzer).
+ modify CF_MAN_PAGES configure macro to replace all occurrences of
TPUT in tput.1's manpage (Debian #573597, report/analysis by Anders
Kaseorg).
+ generate manpages for the *-config scripts, adapted from help2man
(suggested by Sven Joachim).
+ use va_copy() in _nc_printf_string() to avoid conflicting use of

+ add Ada95/configure script, to use in tar-file created by
Ada95/make-tar.sh
+ fix typo in wresize.3x (patch by Tim van der Molen).

making those separately distributable.
+ build-fix for static libraries without dlsym (Debian #556378).

Schwarze).

+ minor documentation cleanup.
+ update config.guess, config.sub from
http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/config
(caveat - its maintainer put 2010 copyright date on files dated 2009)
+ minor improvement to tic's checking of similar SGR's to allow for the
most common case of SGR 0.
+ modify getmouse() to act as its documentation implied, returning on
each call the preceding event until none are left. When no more
events remain, it will return ERR.
+ change order of lookup in progs/tput.c, looking for terminfo data
first. This fixes a confusion between termcap "sg" and terminfo
"sgr" or "sgr0", originally from 990123 changes, but exposed by
20091114 fixes for hashing. With this change, only "dl" and "ed" are
ambiguous (Mandriva #56272).
