+ + 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

+ add configure option --enable-term-driver, to allow compiling with
- terminal-driver. That is used in mingw port, and (being somewhat
+ terminal-driver. That is used in MinGW port, and (being somewhat
more complicated) is an experimental alternative to the conventional
termlib internals. Currently, it requires the sp-funcs feature to
be enabled.
