        Configure the trace() function as part of the all models of the ncurses
        library.  Normally it is part of the debug (libncurses_g) library only.
 
+    --with-xterm-kbs=XXX
+       Configure xterm's terminfo entries to use either BS (^H, i.e., ASCII
+       backspace) or DEL (^?, or 127).  XXX can be BS (or bs, 8) or DEL
+       (or del, 127).
+
+       During installation, the makefile and scripts modifies the "xterm+kbs"
+       terminfo entry to use this setting.
+
     --with-valgrind
        For testing, compile with debug option.
        This also sets the --disable-leaks option.
