+       + improve check for working poll() by using posix_openpt() as a
+         fallback in case there is no valid terminal on the standard input
+         (prompted by discussion on bug-ncurses mailing list, Debian #676461).

+       + clarify in resizeterm.3x how KEY_RESIZE is pushed onto the input

+         + do not redefine "inline" in ncurses_cfg.h; this was originally to
+           solve a problem with gcc/g++, but is aggravated by clang's misuse
+           of symbols to pretend it is gcc.
+         + add braces to configure script to prevent unwanted add of
+           "-lstdc++" to the CXXLIBS symbol.
+         + improve/update test-program used for checking existence of stdc++
+           library.
