+       + change shared-library suffix for AIX 5 and 6 to ".so", avoiding
+         conflict with the static library (report by Ben Lentz).
+       + document RPATH_LIST in INSTALLATION file, as part of workarounds for
+         upgrading an ncurses library using the "--with-shared" option.
+       + modify test/ncurses.c c/C tests to cycle through subsets of the
+         total number of colors, to better illustrate 8/16/88/256-colors by
+         providing directly comparable screens.
+       + add test/dots_curses.c, for comparison with the low-level examples.
