+20200816
+	+ amend tic/infocmp check to allow for the respective tool's absence
+	  (report by Steve Wills, cf: 20200808).
+	+ improved some of the build-scripts with shellcheck
+	+ filter out -MT/-MD/-MTd/-MDd options in script for Visual Studio C++
+	  (discussion with "Maarten Anonymous").
+
+20200808
+	+ improve discussion of the system's tic utility when used as part
+	  of cross-compiling (discussion with Keith Marshall).
+	+ modify configuration checks for build-time tic/infocmp to use
+	  AC_CHECK_TOOL. That can still be overridden by --with-tic-path and
+	  --with-infocmp-path when fallbacks are used, but even if not using
+	  fallbacks, the improved check may help with cross-compiling
+	  (discussion with Keith Marshall).
+	+ other build-fixes for Ada95 with MinGW.
+	+ modify Ada95 source-generation utility to write to a file given as
+	  parameter rather than to the standard output, allowing builds with
+	  MinGW.
+
 20200801
 	+ remove remaining parts of checks for ISC Unix (cf: 20121006).
 	+ add user32.lib to LDFLAGS for Visual Studio C++ configuration
