+20100410
+       + improve win_driver.c handling of mouse:
+         + discard motion events
+         + avoid calling _nc_timed_wait when there is a mouse event
+         + handle 4th and "rightmost" buttons.
+       + quote substitutions in CF_RPATH_HACK_2 configure macro, needed for
+         cases where there are embedded blanks in the rpath option.
+
+20100403
+       + add configure check for exctags vs ctags, to work around pkgsrc.
+       + simplify logic in _nc_get_screensize() to make it easier to see how
+         environment variables may override system- and terminfo-values
+         (prompted by discussion with Igor Bujna).
+       + make debug-traces for COLOR_PAIR and PAIR_NUMBER less verbose.
+       + improve handling of color-pairs embedded in attributes for the
+         extended-colors configuration.
+       + modify MKlib_gen.sh to build link_test with sp-funcs.
+       + build-fixes for OpenSolaris aka Solaris 11, for wide-character
+         configuration as well as for rpath feature in *-config scripts.
+
+20100327
+       + refactor CF_SHARED_OPTS configure macro, making CF_RPATH_HACK more
+         reusable.
+       + improve configure CF_REGEX, similar fixes.
+       + improve configure CF_FIND_LINKAGE, adding add check between system
+         (default) and explicit paths, where we can find the entrypoint in the
+         given library.
+       + add check if Gpm_Open() returns a -2, e.g., for "xterm".  This is
+         normally suppressed but can be overridden using $NCURSES_GPM_TERMS.
+         Ensure that Gpm_Close() is called in this case.

        + rename atari and st52 terminfo entries to atari-old, st52-old, use
          newer entries from FreeMiNT by Guido Flohr (from patch/report by Alan
