+20180825
+       + add a section to tput manual page clarifying how it determines the
+         terminal size (prompted by discussion with Grant Jenks).
+       + add "--disable-relink" to rpm test-packages, for consistency with the
+         deb test-packages.
+       + split spec-file into ncurses6.spec and ncursest6.spec to work around
+         toolset breakage in Fedora 28.
+       + drop mention of "--disable-touching", which was not in the final
+         20180818 updates.
+
+20180818
+       + build-fix for PDCurses with ncurses-examples.
+       + improved CF_CC_ENV_FLAGS.
+       + modify configure scripts to reduce relinking/ranlib during library
+         install (Debian #903790):
+         + use "install -p" when available, to avoid need for ranlib of
+           static libraries.
+         + modify scripts which use "--disable-relink" to add a 1-second
+           sleep to work around tools which use whole-second timestamps, e.g.,
+           in utime() rather than the actual file system resolution.

        + improve logic for clear with E3 extension, in case the terminal
          scrolls content onto its saved-lines before actually clearing
