+       + add configure option --enable-pthreads-eintr to control whether the
+         new EINTR feature is enabled.
+       + modify logic in pthread configuration to allow EINTR to interrupt
+         a read operation in wgetch() (Novell #540571, patch by Werner Fink).
+       + drop mkdirs.sh, use "mkdir -p".
+       + add configure option --disable-libtool-version, to use the
+         "-version-number" feature which was added in libtool 1.5 (report by
+         Peter Haering).  The default value for the option uses the newer
+         feature, which makes libraries generated using libtool compatible
+         with the standard builds of ncurses.
+       + updated test/configure to match configure script macros.
+       + fixes for configure script from lynx changes:
+         + improve CF_FIND_LINKAGE logic for the case where a function is
+           found in predefined libraries.
+         + revert part of change to CF_HEADER (cf: 20100424)

        + correct limit-check in wredrawln, accounting for begy/begx values
          (patch by David Benjamin).
