+20171118
+ + add a note to curs_addch.3x on portability.
+ + add a note to curs_pad.3x on the origin and portability of pads.

+ + correct sgr/sgr0 strings in a few other cases reported by tic, making
+ those correspond to the non-sgr settings where they differ, but
+ otherwise use ECMA-48 consistently:
+ jaixterm, aixterm, att5420_2, att4424, att500, decansi, d410-7b,

+ drawing character is drawn.
+ + make test/ncurses.c "s" test easier to understand which subtests are
+ available; add a "S" wide-character overlap test-screen.
+ + modify test/ncurses.c C/c tests to allow for extended color pairs.
+ + add endwin() call in error-returns from test/ncurses.c omitted in
+ recent redesign of its menu (cf: 20170923).
+ + improve install of hashed-db by removing the ".db" file as done for
+ directory-tree terminal databases.
+ + repair a few overlooked items in include/ncurses_defs from recent
+ port/refactoring of test-programs (cf: 20170909).
+ + add test/padview.c, to compare pads with direct updates in view.c
+
+20171021
+ + modify test/view.c to expand tabs using the ncurses library rather

+ + implement page up/down commands.
+ + add check in tput for init/reset operands to ensure those use a

+ + improve manual pages which discuss chtype, cchar_t types and the
+ attribute values which can be stored in those types.
+ + correct array-index when parsing "-T" command-line option in tabs
+ program.
+ + modify demo_new_pair.c to pass extended pairs to setcchar().
+ + add test/dots_xcurses.c to illustrate a different approach used for
+ extended colors which can be contrasted with dots_curses.c.
+ + add a check in tic to note when a description uses non-mandatory
+ delays without xon_xoff. This is not an error, but some descriptions
+ for a terminal emulator may use the combination incorrectly.
+
