+       + fix a size-difference in _nc_globals which caused hanging of mutex
+         lock/unlock when termlib was built separately.
+
+20080216
+       + avoid using nanosleep() in threaded configuration since that often

+
+20080209
+       + update test programs to build/work with various UNIX curses for
+         comparisons.  This was to reinvestigate statement in X/Open curses

+
