+ Egert and Martin Ettl based on cppcheck tool).
+ + add --with-ncurses-wrap-prefix option to test/configure (discussion

+ + use ncurses*-config scripts if available for test/configure.
+ + update test/aclocal.m4 and test/configure
+ > patches by Charles Wilson:
+ + modify CF_WITH_LIBTOOL configure check to allow unreleased libtool
+ version numbers (e.g. which include alphabetic chars, as well as

+ using that in the libtool link-commands.
+ + fix an missing use of NCURSES_PUBLIC_VAR() in tinfo/MKcodes.awk
+ from 2009031 changes.
+ + improve mk-1st.awk script by writing separate cases for the
+ LIBTOOL_LINK command, depending on which library (ncurses, ticlib,
+ termlib) is to be linked.
+ + modify configure.in to allow broken-linker configurations, not just
+ enable-reentrant, to set public wrap prefix.
+
20090321
+ add TICS_LIST and SHLIB_LIST to allow libtool 2.2.6 on Cygwin to
build with tic and term libraries (patch by Charles Wilson).
+ improve comparison of program-names when checking for linked flavors
such as "reset" by ignoring the executable suffix (reports by Charles
Wilson, Samuel Thibault and Cedric Bretaudeau on Cygwin mailing
- list).
+ list).
+ suppress configure check for static/dynamic linker flags for gcc on
Solaris 10, since gcc is confused by absence of static libc, and
does not switch back to dynamic mode before finishing the libraries
