+20090314
+       + modify scripts to generate ncurses*-config and pc-files to add
+         dependency for tinfo library (patch by Charles Wilson).
+       + improve comparison of program-names when checking for linked flavors
+         such as "reset" by ignoring the executable suffix (reports by Charles
+         Wilson, Samuel Thibault and Cedric Bretaudeau on Cygwin mailing
+         list). 
+       + suppress configure check for static/dynamic linker flags for gcc on
+         Solaris 10, since gcc is confused by absence of static libc, and
+         does not switch back to dynamic mode before finishing the libraries
+         (reports by Joel Bertrand, Alan Pae).
+       + minor fixes to Intel compiler warning checks in configure script.
+       + modify _nc_leaks_tinfo() so leak-checking in test/railroad.c works.
+       + modify set_curterm() to make broken-linker configuration work with
+         changes from 20090228 (report by Charles Wilson).
+

        + continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
        + modify declaration of cur_term when broken-linker is used, but
