+ modify several test programs to use new popup_msgs, adapted from
help-screen used in test/edit_field.c
+ drop two symbols obsoleted in 2004: _nc_check_termtype, and
_nc_resolve_uses
+ fix some old copyright dates (cf: 20031025).
+ build-fixes for test/savescreen.c to work with AIX and HPUX.
+ minor fix to configure script, adding a backslash/continuation.
+ extend TERMINAL structure for ABI 6 to store numbers internally as
integers rather than short, by adding new data for this purpose.
+ more fixes for minor memory-leaks in test-programs.
+ modify declarations for user-data pointers in C++ binding to use
reinterpret_cast to facilitate converting typed pointers to void*
in user's application (patch by Adam Jiang).
+ regenerated html manpages.
+ add note regarding cause and effect for TERM in ncurses manpage,
having noted clueless verbiage in Terminal.app's "help" file
which reverses cause/effect.
+ remove special fallback definition for NCURSES_ATTR_T, since macros
have resolved type-mismatches using casts (cf: 970412).
+ fixes for win_driver.c:
+ handle repainting on endwin/refresh combination.
+ implement beep().
+ minor cleanup.
+ correct check in win_driver.c for saving screen contents, e.g., when
NCURSES_CONSOLE2 is set (cf: 20140503).
+ reorganize b/B menu items in ncurses.c, putting the test-strings into
subwindows. This is needed for a planned change to use Unicode
fullwidth characters in the test-screens.
+ correct update to form status for _NEWTOP, broken by fixes for
compiler warnings (patch by Leon Winter, cf: 20120616).
+ change shared-library suffix for AIX 5 and 6 to ".so", avoiding
conflict with the static library (report by Ben Lentz).
+ document RPATH_LIST in INSTALLATION file, as part of workarounds for
upgrading an ncurses library using the "--with-shared" option.
+ modify test/ncurses.c c/C tests to cycle through subsets of the
total number of colors, to better illustrate 8/16/88/256-colors by
providing directly comparable screens.
+ add test/dots_curses.c, for comparison with the low-level examples.
