        + modify mvcur() to avoid emitting newline characters when nonl() mode
          is set.  Normally this is not a problem since the actual terminal
          mode is set to suppress nl/crlf translations, however it is useful to
          allow the caller to manipulate the terminal mode to avoid staircasing
          effects after spawning a process which writes messages (for lynx
          2.8.4) -TD
        > several patches from Sven Verdoolaege <address@hidden>:
        + remove redundant type-conversion in fifo_push()
        + correct definition of addwstr() macro in curses.h.in
        + remove _nc_utf8_outch()
        + rename most existing uses of CharOf() to UChar(), e.g., where it is
          used to prevent sign-extension in ctype macros.
        + change some chtype's to attr_t's where the corresponding variables
          are used to manipulate attributes.
        + UpdateAttr() was applied to both attributes (attr_t) and characters
          (chtype).  Modify macro and calls to it to make these distinct.
        + add CharEq() macro, use in places where wide-character configuration
          implementation uses a struct for cchar_t.
        + moved struct ldat into curses.priv.h, to hide implementation details.
        + change CharOf() macro to use it for masking A_CHARTEXT data from
          chtype's.
        + add L() macro to curses.priv.h, for long-character literals.
        + replace several assignments from struct ldat entries to chtype or
          char values with combinations of CharOf() and AttrOf() macros.
        + add/use intermediate ChAttrOf() and ChCharOf() macros where we know
          we are using chtype data.
        + add/use lowlevel attribute manipulation macros AddAttr(), RemAttr()
          and SetAttr().
        + add/use SetChar() macro, to change a cchar_t based on a character and
          attributes.
        + convert most internal use of chtype to NCURSES_CH_T, to simplify use
          of cchar_t for wide-character configuration.  Similarly, use ARG_CH_T
          where a pointer would be more useful.
        + add stubs for tracing cchar_t values.
        + add/use macro ISBLANK()
        + add/use constructors for cchar_t's: NewChar(), NewChar2().
        + add/use macros CHREF(), CHDEREF(), AttrOfD(), CharOfD() to facilitate
          passing cchar_t's by address.
        + add/use PUTC_DATA, PUTC() macros.
        + for wide-character configuration, move the window background data to
          the end of the WINDOW struct so that whether _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED
          is defined or not, the offsets in the struct will not change.
        + modify addch() to work with wide-characters.
        + mark several wide-character functions as generated in curses.h.in
        + implement wunctrl(), wadd_wch(), wbkgrndset(), wbkgrnd(),
          wborder_set() and waddnwstr().
