+20160813
+ + add a dependency upon generated-sources in Ada95/src/Makefile.in to
+ handle a case of "configure && make install".
+ + trim trailing blanks from include/Caps*, to work around a problem

+20160806
+ + improve CF_GNU_SOURCE configure macro to optionally define
+ _DEFAULT_SOURCE work around a nuisance in recent glibc releases.
+ + move the terminfo-specific parts of tput's "reset" function into
+ the shared reset_cmd.c, making the two forms of reset use the same
+ strings.
+ + split-out the terminal initialization functions from tset as
+ progs/reset_cmd.c, as part of changes to merge the reset-feature
+ with tput.
+
+20160730
+ + change tset's initialization to allow it to get settings from the
+ standard input as well as /dev/tty, to be more effective when
+ output or error are redirected.
+ + improve discussion of history and portability for tset/reset/tput
+ manual pages.
+
+20160723

+ character depend on the start of keypad and timeout modes, to allow
+ better testing of function-keys.
+ + modify rs1 for xterm-16color, xterm-88color and xterm-256color to
+ reset palette using "oc" string as in linux -TD
