20010825
        + move calls to def_shell_mode() and def_prog_mode() before loop with
          callbacks in lib_set_term.c, since the c++ demo otherwise initialized
          the tty modes before saving them (patch by John David Anglin
          <address@hidden>).
        + duplicate logic used to initialize trace in newterm(), in initscr()
          to avoid confusing trace of initscr().
        + simplify allocation of WINDOW and WINDOWLIST structs by making the
          first a part of the second rather than storing a pointer.  This saves
          a call to malloc for each window (discussion with Philippe Blain).
        + remove unused variable 'used_ncv' from lib_vidattr.c (Philippe Blain).
        + modify c++/Makefile.in to accommodate archive programs that are
          different for C++ than for C, and add cases for vendor's C++
          compilers on Solaris and IRIX (report by Albert Chin-A-Young).
        + correct manpage description of criteria for deciding if the terminal
          supports xterm mouse controls.
        + add several configure script options to aid with cross-compiling: 
          --with-build-cc, --with-build-cflags, --with-build-ldflags, and
          --with-build-libs (request by Greg Roelofs).
        + change criteria for deciding if configure is cross-compiling from
          host/build mismatch to host/target mismatch (request by Greg Roelofs
          <address@hidden>).
        + correct logic for infocmp -e and -E options which writes the data for
          the ext_Names[] array.  This is needed if one constructs a fallback
          table for a terminfo entry which uses extended termcap names, e.g.,
          AX in a color xterm.
        + fix undefined NCURSES_PATHSEP when configure --disable-database
          option is given.
