   <ul>
-  <li>fixes a longstanding portability problem with its use of the
-      <a href="http://invisible-island.net/ncurses/man/form_fieldtype.3x">set_field_type</a>
-      function.  Because that function uses variable-length argument lists,
-      its interface with gnat does not work with certain platforms.
-  <li>improves configurability and portability, particularly when built
-      separately from the main ncurses tree.  The 5.8 release introduced
-      scripts which can be used to construct separate tarballs for the
-      Ada95 and ncurses examples.
-      <p>Those were a proof of concept.  For the 5.9 release, those
-      scripts are augmented with rpm- and dpkg-scripts used in test builds
-      against a variety of gnat- and system ncurses versions as old as
-      gnat 3.15 and ncurses 5.4 (see snapshots and systems tested
-      <a href="http://invisible-island.net/ncurses/ncurses-Ada95.html">here</a>.
-  <li>additional improvements were made for portability of the
-      ncurses examples, adding rpm- and dpkg-scripts for test-builds.
