+20170218
+       + fix several formatting issues with manual pages.
+       + correct read of terminfo entry in which all strings are absent or
+         explicitly cancelled.  Before this fix, the result was that all were
+         treated as only absent.
+       + modify infocmp to suppress mixture of absent/cancelled capabilities
+         that would only show as "NULL, NULL", unless the -q option is used,
+         e.g., to show "-, @" or "@, -".
+

        + build-fixes for PGI compilers (report by Adam J. Stewart)
          + accept whitespace in sed expression for generating expanded.c
