> additional changes for building with Visual Studio C++ and msys2
(reports/patches by "Maarten Anonymous")

+ change an ifdef in test-directory, to use VC++ wide-character funcs.
+ modify version-check with Ada generics to use the same pattern as in

> additional changes for building with Visual Studio C++ and msys2
(patches by "Maarten Anonymous"):
+ adjust headers/declarations to provide for "dllimport" vs "dllexport"
declarations when constructing DLLs, to worko with Visual Studio C++.
+ modify -fvisibility check to work with g++
> fixes for building with Visual Studio C++ and msys2 (patches by
"Maarten Anonymous"):
+ add configure option and check for gcc -fvisibility=hidden feature
+ define NCURSES_NOMACROS in lib_gen.c to work around Visual Studio
C++ preprocessor limitations.
+ modify some of the configure-macros, as well as mk-1st.awk to work
with Visual Studio C++ default filenaming.
+ update release notes
+ minor build-fixes, mostly to test-package scripts
+ modify check for sizeof(wchar_t) to ensure it gives useful result
when cross-compiling.
+ drop assumption in configure script that Cygwin's linker is broken.
+ define NCURSES_BROKEN_LINKER if the broken-linker feature is used,
to simplify configure-checks for ncurses-examples.
+ reassert copyright on ncurses, per discussion in ncurses FAQ:
https://invisible-island.net/ncurses/ncurses.faq.html#relicensed
+ modify comparison in make_hash.c to correct a special case in
collision handling for Caps-hpux11
+ add testing utility report_hashing to check hash-tables used for
terminfo and termcap names.
+ fix a missing prototype for _nc_free_and_exit().
+ update a few comments about tack 1.07
+ use an awk script to split too-long pathnames used in Ada95 sample
programs for explain.txt
+ some build-fixes for ncurses-examples with NetBSD-6.0 curses, though
it lacks some common functions such as use_env() which is not yet
addressed.
+ build-fix and some compiler warning fixes for ncurses-examples with
OpenBSD 5.3
+ fix a possible null-pointer reference in a trace message from newterm.
+ quiet a few warnings from NetBSD 6.0 namespace pollution by
nonstandard popcount() function in standard strings.h header.
+ ignore g++ 4.2.1 warnings for "-Weffc++" in c++/cursesmain.cc
+ fix a few overlooked places for --enable-string-hacks option.
+ improve fix for FreeBSD gnu/98975, to allow for null pointer passed
to tgetent() (report by Rong-en Fan).
+ update tack/HISTORY and tack/README to tell how to build it after
it is removed from the ncurses tree.
+ fix configure check for libtool's version to trim blank lines
(report by sci-fi@hush.ai).
+ review/eliminate other original-file artifacts in cursesw.cc, making
its license consistent with ncurses.
+ use ncurses vw_scanw() rather than reading into a fixed buffer in
the c++ binding for scanw() methods.
+ eliminate fixed-buffer vsprintf() calls in c++ binding.
