        + prevent recursion in wgetch() via wgetnstr() if the connection cannot
          be switched between cooked/raw modes because it is not a TTY (report
          by Wolfgang Gutjahr <address@hidden>).
        + change parameter of define_key() and key_defined() to const (prompted
          by Debian #192860).
        + add a check in test/configure for ncurses extensions, since there
          are some older versions, etc., which would not compile with the
          current test programs.
        + corrected demo in test/ncurses.c of wgetn_wstr(), which did not
          convert wchar_t string to multibyte form before printing it.
        + corrections to lib_get_wstr.c:
          + null-terminate buffer passed to setcchar(), which occasionally
            failed.
          + map special characters such as erase- and kill-characters into
            key-codes so those will work as expected even if they are not
            mentioned in the terminfo.
        + modify PUTC() and Charable() macros to make wide-character line
          drawing work for POSIX locale on Linux console (cf: 20021221).
