+20150221
+ + capture define's related to -D_XOPEN_SOURCE from the configure check
+ and add those to the *-config and *.pc files, to simplify use for
+ the wide-character libraries.
+ + modify ncurses.spec to accommodate Fedora21's location of pkg-config
+ directory.
+ + correct sense of "--disable-lib-suffixes" configure option (report
+ by Nicolas Boos, cf: 20140426).
+
+20150214
+ + regenerate html manpages using improved man2html from work on xterm.
+ + regenerated ".map" and ".sym" files using improved script, accounting
+ for the "--enable-weak-symbols" configure option (report by Werner
+ Fink).
+
+20150131
+ + regenerated ".map" and ".sym" files using improved script, showing
+ the combinations of configure options used at each stage.
+
+20150124
+ + add configure check to determine if "local: _*;" can be used in the
+ ".map" files to selectively omit symbols beginning with "_". On at
+ least recent FreeBSD, the wildcard applies to all "_" symbols.
+ + remove obsolete/conflicting rule for ncurses.map from
+ ncurses/Makefile.in (cf: 20130706).
+
+20150117
+ + improve description in INSTALL of the --with-versioned-syms option.
+ + add combination of --with-hashed-db and --with-ticlib to
+ configurations for ".map" files (report by Werner Fink).
+
20150110
+ add a step to generating ".map" files, to declare any remaining
symbols beginning with "_" as local, at the last version node.
