+    --with-tparm-arg[=XXX]
+	Override the type used for tparm() arguments, which normally is a
+	"long".  However the function must assume that its arguments can hold a
+	pointer to char's which is not always workable for 64-bit platforms.  A
+	better choice would be intptr_t, which was not available at the time

+
+	If the option is not given, this defaults to "long".

     --with-trace
 	Configure the trace() function as part of the all models of the ncurses
 	library.  Normally it is part of the debug (libncurses_g) library only.
 
+    --with-xterm-kbs=XXX
+	Configure xterm's terminfo entries to use either BS (^H, i.e., ASCII
+	backspace) or DEL (^?, or 127).  XXX can be BS (or bs, 8) or DEL
+	(or del, 127).

+	During installation, the makefile and scripts modifies the "xterm+kbs"

     --with-valgrind
 	For testing, compile with debug option.
 	This also sets the --disable-leaks option.
