for compatibility, but generally deprecating those since the VTE
library is what actually defines the behavior of "gnome", etc.,
since 2003 -TD

included in curses.h before testing feature symbols, since they
may be defined by that route.
+ add configure check for exctags vs ctags, to work around pkgsrc.

va_list value in _nc_printf_length() (report by Wim Lewis).
+ for term-driver configuration, ensure that the driver pointer is
initialized in setupterm so that terminfo/termcap programs work.
+ amend fix for Debian #542031 to ensure that wattrset() returns only
OK or ERR, rather than the attribute value (report by Miroslav
Lichvar).

_nc_screen_of() compatible between normal/wide libraries again (patch
by Miroslav Lichvar)

+ similar change for dg+ccc and dgunix+ccc
+ fix typo s/is_timeout/is_notimeout/ which made "man is_notimeout" not
work.

in non-blocking mode (patch by Clemens Ladisch).
+ use PATH_SEPARATOR symbol when substituting into run_tic.sh, to
help with builds on non-Unix platforms such as OS/2 EMX.

enable-type switch.

differences between Tru64/Solaris and HPUX/AIX getcchar() return
values.

(report by Charles Wilson).
+ fix definition for c++/Makefile.in's SHLIB_LIST, which did not list
the form, menu or panel libraries (patch by Charles Wilson).

for functions used to wrap global variables to something other than
"_nc_" (discussion with Charles Wilson).
+ continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).

wrapping.
+ modify ncurses 'F' test to demo wborder_set() with colored lines.
+ modify ncurses 'f' test to demo wborder() with colored lines.
+ improve a workaround in adding wide-characters, when a control
character is found. The library (cf: 20040207) uses unctrl() to
obtain a printable version of the control character, but was not
passing color or video attributes.

display meta-characters.
+ turn on _XOPEN_CURSES definition in curses.h

strndup between string.h and dmalloc.h
+ fix build for --disable-sigwinch
+ add environment variable NCURSES_GPM_TERMS to allow override to use
GPM on terminals other than "linux", etc.
+ disable GPM mouse support when $TERM does not happen to contain
"linux", since Gpm_Open() no longer limits its assertion to terminals
that it might handle, e.g., within "screen" in xterm.
+ reset mouse file-descriptor when unloading GPM library (report by
Miroslav Lichvar).
+ fix build for --disable-leaks --enable-widec --with-termlib
> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
+ use improved initialization for soft-label keys in Ada95 sample code.
+ discard internal symbol _nc_slk_format (unused since 20080112).

and endl, to fix a build issue with Tru64.
+ consistently use NCURSES_BOOL in lib_gen.c

substitution by IBM xlc to '#' as part of its extensions to digraphs.
+ update config.guess, config.sub from
http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/config
(caveat - its maintainer removed support for older Linux systems).
+ add configure option --enable-weak-symbols to turn on new feature.
+ add configure-check for availability of weak symbols.
+ modify linkage with pthread library to use weak symbols so that
applications not linked to that library will not use the mutexes,
etc. This relies on gcc, and may be platform-specific (patch by Dr
Werner Fink).
+ add note to INSTALL to document limitation of renaming of tic library
using the --with-ticlib configure option (report by Dr Werner Fink).
+ document (in manpage) why tputs does not detect I/O errors (prompted
by comments by Samuel Thibault).

make those work properly with the "--enable-ext-mouse" configuration
(cf: 20050205).
+ improve documentation of build-cc options in INSTALL.
+ work-around a bug in gcc 4.2.4 on AIX, which does not pass the
-static/-dynamic flags properly to linker, causing test/bs to
not link.
