        + modify final checks in lib_setup.c for line and col values, making
          them independent.
        + modify acs_map[] if configure --broken-linker is specified, to make
          it use a function rather than an array (prompted by an incorrect
          implementation in cygwin package).
        + correct spelling of configure option --enable-colorfgbg, which
          happened to work if --with-develop was set (noted in cygwin package
          for ncurses).
        + modify ifdef for genericerror() to compile with SUNWspro Sun WorkShop
          6 update 1 C++ 5.2 (patch by Sullivan N Beck <address@hidden>).
        + add configure checks to see if ncurses' fallback vsscanf() will
          compile either of the special cases for FILE structs, and if not,
          force it to the case which simply returns an error (report by
          Sullivan N Beck <address@hidden> indicates that Solaris 8 with
          64-bits does not allow access to FILE's fields).
        + modify ifdef's for c++/cursesw.cc to use the fallback vsscanf() in
          the ncurses library if no better substitute for this can be found
          in the C++ runtime.
        + modify the build to name dynamic libraries according to the
          convention used on OS X and Darwin.  Rather than something like
          libncurses.dylib.5.2, Darwin would name it libncurses.  5.dylib. 
          There are a few additional minor fixes, such as setting the library
          version and compatibility version numbers (patch by Jason Evans
          <address@hidden>).
        + use 'sh' to run mkinstalldirs, to work around problems with buggy
          versions of 'make' on OS/2 (report by John Polterak <address@hidden>).
        + correct typo in manpage description of curs_set() (Debian #121548).
        + replace the configure script existence-check for mkstemp() by one
          that checks if the function works, needed for older glibc and
          AmigaOS.
