+ + improve linkages in html manpages, adding references to the newer
+ pages, e.g., *_variables, curs_sp_funcs, curs_threads.
+ + add checks in tic for inconsistent cursor-movement controls, and for
+ inconsistent printer-controls.
+ + fill in no-parameter forms of cursor-movement where a parameterized
+ form is available -TD
+ + fill in missing cursor controls where the form of the controls is

+ + fixes to filename computation in mk-dlls.sh.in
+ + use POSIX locale in mk-dlls.sh.in rather than en_US (report by Sven
+ Joachim).
+ + add a check in mk-dlls.sh.in to obtain the size of a pointer to
+ distinguish between 32-bit and 64-bit hosts. The result is stored
+ in mingw_arch
+
+20100925
+ + add "XT" capability to entries for terminals that support both
+ xterm-style mouse- and title-controls, for "screen" which
+ special-cases TERM beginning with "xterm" or "rxvt" -TD

+ + add configure check for pthread_kill(), needed for some old
+ platforms.
+
+20100904
+ + add configure option --without-tests, to suppress building test
+ programs (request by Frederic L W Meunier).
+
+20100828
+ + modify nsterm, xnuppc and tek4115 to make sgr/sgr0 consistent -TD
+ + add check in terminfo source-reader to provide more informative

+ + fixes to curs_color.3x, curs_kernel.3x and wresize.3x manpages (patch
+ by Tim van der Molen).
+ + modify configure script to transform library names for tic- and
+ tinfo-libraries so that those build properly with Mac OS X shared
+ library configuration.
