+20070505
+       + fix a bug in Ada95/samples/ncurses which caused a variable to
+         become uninitialized in the "b" test.
+       + fix Ada95/gen/Makefile.in adahtml rule to account for recent
+         movement of files, fix a few incorrect manpage references in the
+         generated html.
+       + add Ada95 binding to _nc_freeall() as Curses_Free_All to help with
+         memory-checking.
+       + correct some functions in Ada95 binding which were using return value
+         from C where none was returned:  idcok(), immedok() and wtimeout().
+       + amend recent changes for Ada95 binding to make it build with
+         Cygwin's linker, e.g., with configure options
+               --enable-broken-linker --with-ticlib
+
+20070428
+       + add a configure check for gcc's options for inlining, use that to
+         quiet a warning message where gcc's default behavior changed from
+         3.x to 4.x.
+       + improve warning message when checking if GPM is linked to curses
+         library by not warning if its use of "wgetch" is via a weak symbol.
+       + add loader options when building with static libraries to ensure that
+         an installed shared library for ncurses does not conflict.  This is
+         reported as problem with Tru64, but could affect other platforms
+         (report Martin Mokrejs, analysis by Tim Mooney).
+       + fix build on cygwin after recent ticlib/termlib changes, i.e.,
+         + adjust TINFO_SUFFIX value to work with cygwin's dll naming
+         + revert a change from 20070303 which commented out dependency of
+           SHLIB_LIST in form/menu/panel/c++ libraries.
+       + fix initialization of ripoff stack pointer (cf: 20070421).
+
+20070421
        + move most static variables into structures _nc_globals and
          _nc_prescreen, to simplify storage.

+20070414
        + fix whitespace in curs_opaque.3x which caused a spurious ';' in
          the installed aliases (report by Peter Santoro).

          Ada95 tree is not built.
