+20161022
+ + modify tset -w (and tput reset) to update the program's copy of the
+ screensize if it was already set in the system, to improve tabstop
+ setting which relies upon knowing the actual screensize.
+ + add functionality of tset -w to tput, like the "-c" feature this is
+ not optional in tput.
+ + add "clear" as a possible link/alias to tput.
+ + improve tput's check for being called as "init" or "reset" to allow
+ for transformed names.
+ + split-out the "clear" function from progs/clear.c, share with
+ tput to get the same behavior, e.g., the E3 extension.
+
+20161015
+ + amend internal use of tputs to consistently use the number of lines
+ affected, e.g., for insert/delete character operations. While
+ merging terminfo source early in 1995, several descriptions used the
+ "*" proportional delay for these operations, prompting a change in
+ doupdate.
+ + regenerate llib-* files.

+ + fix several formatting issues with manual pages.
+
+20161008

+ + build-fix for "recent" OpenBSD vs baudrate.

+20161001
+ + add -W option to tic/infocmp to force long strings to wrap. This is
