cppcheck in c++/cursesw.cc by eliminating + a temporary variable. + + use _nc_doalloc() rather than realloc() in a few places in ncurses + library to avoid leak in out-of-memory condition (reports by

public wrap prefix. + +20090321 + + add TICS_LIST and SHLIB_LIST to allow libtool 2.2.6 on Cygwin to + build with tic and term libraries (patch by Charles Wilson). + + add -no-undefined option to

Wilson). + + add configure option --with-wrap-prefix to allow setting the prefix + for functions used to wrap global variables to something other than + "_nc_" (discussion with Charles Wilson). + +20090314 + + modify scripts to generate ncurses*-config and pc-files to add + dependency for tinfo library (patch by Charles Wilson). + + improve comparison of program-names when checking for linked flavors + such as "reset" by ignoring the executable suffix (reports by Charles + Wilson, Samuel Thibault and Cedric Bretaudeau on Cygwin mailing + list). + + suppress configure check for static/dynamic linker flags for gcc on + Solaris 10, since gcc is confused by absence of static libc, and + does not switch back to dynamic mode before finishing the libraries + (reports by Joel Bertrand, Alan Pae). + + minor fixes to Intel compiler warning checks in configure script. + + modify _nc_leaks_tinfo() so leak-checking in test/railroad.c works. + + modify set_curterm() to make broken-linker configuration work with + changes from 20090228 (report by Charles Wilson). + +20090228 + + continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete). + + modify declaration of cur_term when broken-linker is used, but + enable-reentrant is not, to match pre-5.7 (report by Charles Wilson). + +20090221 + + continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete). + +20090214 + + add configure script --enable-sp-funcs to enable the new set of + extended functions. + + start integrating patches by Juergen Pfeifer: + + add extended functions which specify the SCREEN pointer for several + curses functions which use the global SP (these are incomplete; + some internals work is needed to complete these). + + add special cases to configure script for MinGW port. + 20090207 + update several configure macros from lynx changes + append (not prepend) to CFLAGS/CPPFLAGS
