+       + document a portability issue with tput, i.e., that scripts which work
+         with ncurses may fail in other implementations that do no parameter
+         analysis.
+       + add putty-sco entry -TD
+
+20111217
+       + review/fix places in manpages where --program-prefix configure option
+         was not being used.
+       + add -D option to infocmp, to show the database locations that it
+         could use.
+       + fix build for the special case where term-driver, ticlib and termlib
+         are all enabled.  The terminal driver depends on a few features in
+         the base ncurses library, so tic's dependencies include both ncurses
+         and termlib.
+       + fix build work for term-driver when --enable-wgetch-events option is
+         enabled.
+       + use <stdint.h> types to fix some questionable casts to void*.

        + modify configure script to check if thread library provides
          pthread_mutexattr_settype(), e.g., not provided by Solaris 2.6
