+20110813
+       + add substitution for $RPATH_LIST to misc/ncurses-config.in
+       + improve performance of tic with hashed-database by caching the
+         database connection, using atexit() to cleanup.
+       + modify treatment of 2-character aliases at the beginning of termcap
+         entries so they are not counted in use-resolution, since these are
+         guaranteed to be unique.  Also ignore these aliases when reporting
+         the primary name of the entry (cf: 20040501)
+       + double-check gn (generic) flag in terminal descriptions to
+         accommodate old/buggy termcap databases which misused that feature.
+       + minor fixes to _nc_tgetent(), ensure buffer is initialized even on
+         error-return.
+
 20110807
        + improve rpath fix from 20110730 by ensuring that the new $RPATH_LIST
          variable is defined in the makefiles which use it.
