+20081129
+       + improve a workaround in adding wide-characters, when a control
+         character is found.  The library (cf: 20040207) uses unctrl() to
+         obtain a printable version of the control character, but was not
+         passing color or video attributes.
+       + improve test/ncurses.c 'a' test, using unctrl() more consistently to
+         display meta-characters.
+       + turn on _XOPEN_CURSES definition in curses.h
+       + add eterm-color entry (report by Vincent Lefevre) -TD
+       + correct use of key_name() in test/ncurses.c 'A' test, which only
+         displays wide-characters, not key-codes since 20070612 (report by
+         Ricardo Cantu).
+

        + change _nc_has_mouse() to has_mouse(), reflect its use in C++ and
          Ada95 (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
