+- Add ncurses patch 20181215
+  + several fixes for gcc8 strict compiler warnings.
+  + fix a typo in comments (Aaron Gyes).
+  + add nsterm-build309 to replace nsterm-256color, assigning the latter
+    as an alias of nsterm, to make mouse work with nsterm-256color -TD
+  + base gnome-256color entry on "gnome", not "vte", for consistency -TD
+  + updates for configure macros from work on tin and xterm:
+    + CF_GNU_SOURCE, allow for Cygwin's newlib when checking for the
+      _DEFAULT_SOURCE symbol.
+    + CF_VA_COPY, add fallback check if neither va_copy/__va_copy is
+      supported, to try copying the pointers for va_list, or as an array.
+      Also add another fallback check, for __builtin_va_copy(), which
+      could be used with AIX xlc in c89 mode.
