+       + add man/curs_legacy.3x, man/curs_opaque.3x
+       + fix acs_map binding for Ada95 when --enable-reentrant is used. 
+       + add adacurses-config to the Ada95 install, based on version from
+         FreeBSD port, in turn by Juergen Pfeifer in 2000 (prompted by
+         comment on comp.lang.ada newsgroup).
+       + fix includes in c++ binding to build with Intel compiler
+         (cf: 20061209).
+       + update install rule in Ada95 to use mkdirs.sh
+       > other fixes prompted by inspection for Coverity report:
+       + modify ifdef's for c++ binding to use try/catch/throw statements
+       + add a null-pointer check in tack/ansi.c request_cfss()
+       + fix a memory leak in ncurses/base/wresize.c
+       + corrected check for valid memu/meml capabilities in
+         progs/dump_entry.c when handling V_HPUX case.

+       + add index checks in lib_color.c for color palettes
