+20111001
+       + modify tic "-K" option to only set the strict-flag rather than force
+         source-output.  That allows the same flag to control the parser for
+         input and output of termcap source.
+       + modify _nc_getent() to ignore backslash at the end of a comment line,
+         making it consistent with ncurses' parser.
+       + restore a special-case check for directory needed to make termcap
+         text files load as if they were databases (cf: 20110924).
+       + modify tic's resolution/collision checking to attempt to remove the
+         conflicting alias from the second entry in the pair, which is
+         normally following in the source file.  Also improved the warning
+         message to make it simpler to see which alias is the problem.
+       + improve performance of the database iterator by caching search-list.
+

        + add a missing "else" in changes to _nc_read_tic_entry().
