+       + improve CF_GCC_VERSION to work around Debian's customization of gcc
+         --version message.
+       + improve configure macros as done in byacc:
+         + drop 2.13 compatibility; use 2.52.xxxx version only since EMX port
+           has used that for a while.
+         + add 3rd parameter to AC_DEFINE's to allow autoheader to run, i.e.,
+           for experimental use.
+         + remove unused configure macros.
+       + modify configure script and makefiles to quiet new autoconf warning
+         for LIBS_TO_MAKE variable.

+20120922
+       + modify setupterm to set its copy of TERM to "unknown" if configured
+         for the terminal driver and TERM was null or empty.
+       + modify treatment of TERM variable for MinGW port to allow explicit
+         use of the windows console driver by checking if $TERM is set to
+         "#win32con" or an abbreviation of that.
+       + undo recent change to fallback definition of vsscanf() to build with
+         older Solaris compilers (cf: 20120728).
+
+20120908
+       + add test-screens to test/ncurses to show 256-characters at a time,
+         to help with MinGW port.
+
+20120903
+       + simplify varargs logic in lib_printw.c; va_copy is no longer needed
+         there.
+       + modifications for MinGW port to make wide-character display usable.
+
 20120902
        + regenerate configure script (report by Sven Joachim, cf: 20120901).
