Curses was updated to do this, e.g., wscanw, newterm, the terminfo
interface. Also use "const" for consistency in the termcap
interface, which was withdrawn by X/Open Curses in Issue 5 (2007).
As of Issue 7, X/Open Curses still lacks "const" for certain return
values, e.g., keyname().

for threads to make the report more readable. Reorganized the
structures reported to make the categories more apparent.
+ simplify some ifdef's for extended-colors.

> merge branch begun April 2, 2017 which provides these features:
+ support read/write new binary-format for terminfo which stores
numeric capabilities as a signed 32-bit integer. The test programs
such as picsmap, ncurses were created or updated during 2017 to use
this feature.
+ the new format is written by the wide-character configuration of
tic when it finds a numeric capability larger than 32767.
+ other applications such as infocmp built with the wide-character
ncurses library work as expected.
+ applications built with the "narrow" (8-bit) configuration will
read the new format, but will limit those extended values to 32767.
+ in either wide/narrow configuration, the structure defined in
term.h still uses signed 16-bit values.
+ because it is incompatible with the legacy (mid-1980s) binary format,
a new magic value is provided for the "file" program.
+ the term.5 manual page is updated to describe this new format.
+ the limit on file-size for compiled terminfo is increased in the
wide-character configuration to 32768.
- Add ncurses patch 20180120
+ build-fix in picsmap.c for stdint.h existence.
+ add --disable-stripping option to configure scripts.
+ modify ncurses-examples to install test-scripts in the data directory.
+ work around tool-breakage in Debian 9 and later by invoking
gprconfig to specify the C compiler to be used by gnatmake,
and conditionally suppressing Library_Options line for static
libraries.
+ bump the compat level for test-packages to 7, i.e., Debian 5.
- Add tack patch 1.08-20170818
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Jan 9 11:11:49 UTC 2018 - werner@suse.de

as possible default values.
+ modify ncurses-examples configure script to use pkg-config for the
extra form/menu/panel libraries, to be more consistent with the
handling of the curses/ncurses library.
+ modify test-packages for mingw to supply "pc" files.
+ modify gen-pkgconfig.in to list -lpthread as a private library when
configured to access it via weak symbols.
