This + undoes one of the fixes from 20110319, which added an "Unused" member + to representation clauses, replacing that with pragmas to suppress + warnings about unused bits (patch by Nicolas Boulenguez): + +20110423 + + add check in test/configure for use_window, use_screen. + + add configure-checks for getopt's variables, which may be declared + as different types on some Unix systems. + + add check in test/configure for some legacy curses types of the + function pointer passed to tputs(). + + modify init_pair() to accept -1's for color value after + assume_default_colors() has been called (Debian #337905). + + modify test/background.c, adding commmand-line options to demonstrate + assume_default_colors() and use_default_colors(). + +20110416 + + modify configure script/source-code to only define _POSIX_SOURCE if + the checks for sigaction and/or termios fail, and if _POSIX_C_SOURCE + and _XOPEN_SOURCE are undefined (report by Valentin Ochs). + + update config.guess, config.sub + +20110409 + + fixes to build c++ binding with clang 3.0 (patch by Alexander + Kolesen). + + add check for unctrl.h in test/configure, to work around breakage in + some ncurses packages. + + add "--disable-widec" option to test/configure script. + + add "--with-curses-colr" and "--with-curses-5lib" options to the + test/configure script to address testing with very old machines. + +20110404 5.9 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org + +20110402 + + various build-fixes for the rpm/dpkg scripts. + + add "--enable-rpath-link" option to Ada95/configure, to allow + packages to suppress the rpath feature which is normally used for + the in-tree build of sample programs. + + corrected definition of libdir variable in Ada95/src/Makefile.in, + needed for rpm script. + + add "--with-shared" option to Ada95/configure script, to allow + making the C-language parts of the binding use appropriate compiler + options if building a shared library with gnat. + +20110329 + > portability fixes for Ada95 binding: + + add configure check to ensure that SIGINT works with gnat.
