+970908	+ Improve NCursesWindow class: added additional methods to
+	  cover more ncurses functionality. Make refresh() and 
+	  noutrefresh() virtual members to allow different implementation
+	  in the NCursesPanel class.
+	+ CAUTION: changed order of parameters in vline() and hline() of
+	  NCursesWindow class.
+	+ Make refresh() in NCursesPanel non-static, it is now a
+	  reimplementation  of refresh() in the base class. Added 
+	  noutrefresh() to NCursesPanel.
+	+ Added NCursesForm and related classes to support libform
+	  functionality.
+	+ Moved most of configuration related stuff from cursesw.h to
+	  etip.h
+	+ Added NCursesApplication class to support easy configuration 
+	  of menu and forms related attributes as well as ripped of
+	  title lines and Soft-Label-Keys for an application.
+	+ Support of Auto-Cleanup for a menus fieldlist.
+	+ Change of return type for current_item() and operator[] for
+	  menus.
+	+ Enhanced demo.

 	+ Introduced the THROW and THROWS functions/macros to prepare

 	+ The inheritace relation between NCursesWindow and NCursesColorWindow
 	  was kind of brain damage. Monochrome is a special case of colored, so

 	  To resolve that design flaw I put the color functionality into the

 	  useColors(). NCursesColorWindow is still there for compatibility
