+20170729
+ + update interix entry using tack and SFU on Windows 7 Ultimate -TD
+ + use ^? for kdch1 in interix (reported by Jonathan de Boyne Pollard)
+ + add "rep" to xterm-new, available since 1997/01/26 -TD
+ + move SGR 24 and 27 from vte-2014 to vte-2012 (request by Alain
+ Williams) -TD
+ + add a check in newline_forces_scroll() in case a program moves the
+ cursor outside scrolling margins (report by Robert King).
+ + improve _nc_tparm_analyze, using that to extend the checks made by
+ tic for reporting inconsistencies between the expected number of
+ parameters for a capability and the actual.
+ + amend handling of repeat_char capability in EmitRange (adapted from
+ report/patch by Dick Wesseling):
+ + translate the character to the alternate character set when the
+ alternate character set is enabled.
+ + do not use repeat_char for characters past 255.
+ + document "_nc_free_tinfo" in manual page, because it could be used in
+ tack for memory-leak checking.
+ + add "--without-tack" configure option to refine "--with-progs"
+ configure option. Normally tack is no longer built in-tree, but
+ a few packagers combine it during the build. If term_entry.h is
+ installed, there is no advantage to in-tree builds.
+ + adjust configure-script to define HAVE_CURSES_DATA_BOOLNAMES symbol
+ needed for tack 1.08 when built in-tree. Rather than relying upon
+ internal "_nc_" functions, tack now uses the boolean, number and
+ string capability name-arrays provided by ncurses and SVr4 Unix
+ curses. It still uses term_entry.h for the definitions of the
+ extended capability arrays.
+ + add an overlooked null-pointer check in mvcur changes from 20170722
+
20170722
+ improve test-packages for ncurses-examples and AdaCurses for lintian
+ modify logic for endwin-state to be able to detect the case where
