+20110611
+       + update minix entry to minix 3.2 (Thomas Cort).
+       + fix a strict compiler warning in change to wattr_get (cf: 20110528).
+
+20110604
+       + fixes for MirBSD port:
+         + set default prefix to /usr.
+         + add support for shared libraries in configure script.
+         + use S_ISREG and S_ISDIR consistently, with fallback definitions.
+       + add a few more checks based on ncurses/link_test.
+       + modify MKlib_gen.sh to handle sp-funcs renaming of NCURSES_OUTC type.
+
+20110528
+       + add case to CF_SHARED_OPTS for Interix (patch by Markus Duft).
+       + used ncurses/link_test to check for behavior when the terminal has
+         not been initialized and when an application passes null pointers
+         to the library.  Added checks to cover this (prompted by Redhat
+         #707344).
+       + modify MKlib_gen.sh to make its main() function call each function
+         with zero parameters, to help find inconsistent checking for null
+         pointers, etc.
+
+20110521
+       + fix warnings from clang 2.7 "--analyze"
+
+20110514
+       + compiler-warning fixes in panel and progs.
+       + modify CF_PKG_CONFIG macro, from changes to tin -TD
+       + modify CF_CURSES_FUNCS configure macro, used in test directory
+         configure script:
+         + work around (non-optimizer) bug in gcc 4.2.1 which caused
+           test-expression to be omitted from executable.
+         + force the linker to see a link-time expression of a symbol, to
+           help work around weak-symbol issues.
+
 20110507
        + update discussion of MKfallback.sh script in INSTALL; normally the
          script is used automatically via the configured makefiles.  However
