+20100123
+       + for term-driver configuration, ensure that the driver pointer is
+         initialized in setupterm so that terminfo/termcap programs work.
+       + amend fix for Debian #542031 to ensure that wattrset() returns only

+         Lichvar).

+       + review/fix include-dependencies in modules files (report by Miroslav
+         Lichvar).
+

+       + modify win_driver.c to initialize acs_map for win32 console, so
+         that line-drawing works.
+       + modify win_driver.c to initialize TERMINAL struct so that programs
+         such as test/lrtest.c and test/ncurses.c which test string
+         capabilities can run.
+       + modify term-driver modules to eliminate forward-reference
+         declarations.
+
+20100109
+       + modify configure macro CF_XOPEN_SOURCE, etc., to use CF_ADD_CFLAGS
+         consistently to add new -D's while removing duplicates.
+       + modify a few configure macros to consistently put new options
+         before older in the list.
+       + add tiparm(), based on review of X/Open Curses Issue 7.
+       + minor documentation cleanup.
+       + update config.guess, config.sub from
+               http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/config
+         (caveat - its maintainer put 2010 copyright date on files dated 2009)
+
 20100102
        + minor improvement to tic's checking of similar SGR's to allow for the
          most common case of SGR 0.
