-The 'tack' program is a diagnostic that is designed to create and
-verify the correctness of terminfo's.  This program can be used to
-create new terminal descriptions that are not included in the standard
-release.  Although 'tack' has been distributed with ncurses, it is not an
-integral part of ncurses.  It may be removed from the release without
-limiting the usefulness of ncurses on those terminals described in the
-terminfo data base.  The best way to remove 'tack' from the build is
-to delete or rename the 'tack' directory before running the configure
-script.
-
-Starting with ncurses 5.6 patch 20070113, this program can be built
-outside the ncurses source-tree, provided that ncurses is configured
-using the "--with-ticlib" option.  That makes available the private
-interfaces used by tack, and eliminates the need to distribute tack
-as an optional part of ncurses.
-
-Unlike the rest of ncurses, the 'tack' program is covered under the GNU
-Public License.
