systems that provide the "lint" program can use that to build a lint-library.
I don't use it much for that anymore - only Sun seems to deliver a quasi-working
lint currently - but it's useful for a snapshot of the interfaces provided
by the library.  Most of the file is generated using cproto (there're a
few lines that I edit by hand).

I should put an rcs identifier in that file (just so we could agree on which
one you're looking at).  Mine was last touched April 12.  The previous
version was from August 31.  The current one has const's for printw because
of the change I made in November.
