+       + change TERMINAL structure in term.h to make it opaque.  Some
+         applications misuse its members, e.g., directly modifying it
+         rather than using def_prog_mode().
+       + modify utility headers such as tic.h to make it clearer which are
+         externals that are used by tack.
+       + improve curs_slk.3x in particular its discussion of portability.
+       + fix cut/paste in legacy_encoding.3x
+       + add prototype for find_pair() to new_pair.3x (report by Branden

+         (report/analysis by Robert King) -TD
+       + add vt100+4bsd building block, use that for older terminals rather
