+ NCURSES_USE_DATABASE is not defined (patch by Xin Li).
+ + add cast in form_driver_w() to fix ARM build (patch by Xin Li).
+ + add logic to win_driver.c to save/restore screen contents when not

+
+20140215
+ + in-progress changes to win_driver.c to implement output without
+ allocating a console-buffer. This uses a pre-existing environment
+ variable NCGDB used by Juergen Pfeifer for debugging (prompted by
+ discussion with Erwin Waterlander regarding Console2, which hangs
+ when reading in an allocated console-buffer).
+ + add -t option to gdc.c, and modify to accept "S" to step through the
+ scrolling-stages.
+ + regenerate NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO.html to fix some of the broken
+ html emitted by docbook.
