+20080112
+       + remove recursive-mutex definitions, finish threading demo for worm.c
+       + remove a redundant adjustment of lines in resizeterm.c's
+         adjust_window() which caused occasional misadjustment of stdscr when
+         softkeys were used.
+
+20080105
+       + several improvements to terminfo entries based on xterm #230 -TD
+       + modify MKlib_gen.sh to handle keyname/key_name prototypes, so the
+         "link_test" builds properly.
+       + fix for toe command-line options -u/-U to ensure filename is given.
+       + fix allocation-size for command-line parsing in infocmp from 20070728
+         (report by Miroslav Lichvar)
+       + improve resizeterm() by moving ripped-off lines, and repainting the
+         soft-keys (report by Katarina Machalkova)
+       + add clarification in wclear's manpage noting that the screen will be
+         cleared even if a subwindow is cleared (prompted by Christer Enfors
+         question).
+       + change test/ncurses.c soft-key tests to work with KEY_RESIZE.
+
+20071222
+       + continue implementing support for threading demo by adding mutex
+         for delwin().
+
+20071215
+       + add several functions to C++ binding which wrap C functions that
+         pass a WINDOW* parameter (request by Chris Lee).
+
+20071201
+       + add note about configure options needed for Berkeley database to the
+         INSTALL file.
+       + improve checks for version of Berkeley database libraries.
+       + amend fix for rpath to not modify LDFLAGS if the platform has no
+         applicable transformation (report by Christian Ebert, cf: 20071124).
