+       + modify _nc_capcmp() to work with cancelled strings.
+       + correct translation of "^" in _nc_infotocap(), used to transform
+         terminfo to termcap strings 
+       + add configure --disable-rpath-hack, to allow disabling the feature
+         which adds rpath options for libraries in unusual places.
+       + improve CF_RPATH_HACK_2 by checking if the rpath option for a given
+         directory was already added.
+       + improve CF_RPATH_HACK_2 by using ldd to provide a standard list of
+         directories (which will be ignored).
+
+20100410
+       + improve win_driver.c handling of mouse:
+         + discard motion events
+         + avoid calling _nc_timed_wait when there is a mouse event
+         + handle 4th and "rightmost" buttons.
+       + quote substitutions in CF_RPATH_HACK_2 configure macro, needed for
+         cases where there are embedded blanks in the rpath option.
+
+20100403
+       + add configure check for exctags vs ctags, to work around pkgsrc.
+       + simplify logic in _nc_get_screensize() to make it easier to see how
+         environment variables may override system- and terminfo-values
+         (prompted by discussion with Igor Bujna).
+       + make debug-traces for COLOR_PAIR and PAIR_NUMBER less verbose.
+       + improve handling of color-pairs embedded in attributes for the
+         extended-colors configuration.
+       + modify MKlib_gen.sh to build link_test with sp-funcs.
+       + build-fixes for OpenSolaris aka Solaris 11, for wide-character
+         configuration as well as for rpath feature in *-config scripts.

        + refactor CF_SHARED_OPTS configure macro, making CF_RPATH_HACK more
          reusable.
