Changes through 1.9.9e did not credit all contributions;
it is not possible to add this information.
+20111126
+ + correct database iterator's check for duplicate entries
+ (cf: 20111001).
+ + modify database iterator to ignore $TERMCAP when it is not an
+ absolute pathname.
+ + add -D option to tic, to show the database locations that it could
+ use.
+ + improve description of database locations in tic manpage.
+ + modify the configure script to generate a list of the ".pc" files to
+ generate, rather than deriving the list from the libraries which have
+ been built (patch by Mike Frysinger).
+ + use AC_CHECK_TOOLS in preference to AC_PATH_PROGS when searching for
+ ncurses*-config, e.g., in Ada95/configure and test/configure (adapted
+ from patch by Mike Frysinger).
+
+20111119
+ + remove obsolete/conflicting fallback definition for _POSIX_SOURCE
+ from curses.priv.h, fixing a regression with IRIX64 and Tru64
+ (cf: 20110416)
+ + modify _nc_tic_dir() to ensure that its return-value is nonnull,
+ i.e., the database iterator was not initialized. This case is needed
+ to when tic is translating to termcap, rather than loading the
+ database (cf: 20111001).
+
20111112
+ add pccon entries for OpenBSD console (Alexei Malinin).
+ build-fix for OpenBSD 4.9 with gcc 4.2.1, setting _XOPEN_SOURCE to
