+	+ modify configure option --with-hashed-db to accept a parameter which

+	+ modify the support for filesystems which do not support mixed-case to
+	  generate 2-character (hexadecimal) codes for the lower-level of the

+	+ add configure option --enable-mixed-case, to allow overriding the
+	  configure script's check if the filesystem supports mixed-case
+	  filenames.
+	+ add wresize() to C++ binding (request by Chris Lee).
+	+ define NCURSES_EXT_FUNCS and NCURSES_EXT_COLORS in curses.h to make
