Thomas E. Dickey 027d0c57c4 ncurses 5.9 - patch 20150516
+ amend change to ".pc" files to only use the extra loader flags which
  may have rpath options (report by Sven Joachim, cf: 20150502).
+ change versioning for dpkg's in test-packages for Ada95 and
  ncurses-examples for consistency with Debian, to work with package
  updates.
+ regenerate html manpages.
+ clarify handling of carriage return in waddch manual page; it was
  discussed only in the portability section (prompted by comment on
  Stack Overflow forum):
