ncurses 6.0 - patch 20170722 + improve test-packages for ncurses-examples and AdaCurses for lintian + modify logic for endwin-state to be able to detect the case where the screen was never initialized, using that to trigger a flush of ncurses' buffer for mvcur, e.g., in test/dots_mvcur.c for the term-driver configuration. + add dependency upon ncurses_cfg.h to a few other internal header files to allow each to be compiled separately. + add dependency upon ncurses_cfg.h to tic's header-files; any program using tic-library will have to supply this file. Legacy tack versions supply this file; ongoing tack development has dropped the dependency upon tic-library and new releases will not be affected.
