 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

20040117 pre-release
        + modify lib_get_wch.c to prefer mblen/mbtowc over mbrlen/mbrtowc to
          work around core dump in Solaris 8's locale support, e.g., for
          zh_CN.GB18030 (report by Saravanan Bellan).
        + add includes for <stdarg.h> and <stdio.h> in configure script macro
          to make <wchar.h> check work with Tru64 4.0d.
        + add terminfo entry for U/Win -TD
        + add terminfo entries for SFU aka Interix aka OpenNT (Federico
          Bianchi).
        + modify tput's error messages to prefix them with the program name
          (report by Vincent Lefevre, patch by Daniel Jacobowitz, Debian
          #227586).
        + correct a place in tack where exit_standout_mode was used instead of
          exit_attribute_mode (patch by Jochen Voss, Debian #224443).
        + modify c++/cursesf.h to use const in the Enumeration_Field method.
        + remove an ambiguous (actually redundant) method from c++/cursesf.h
        + make $HOME/.terminfo update optional (suggested by Stanislav Ievlev).
        + improve sed script which extracts libtool's version in the
          CF_WITH_LIBTOOL macro.
        + add ifdef'd call to AC_PROG_LIBTOOL to CF_WITH_LIBTOOL macro (to
          simplify local patch for Albert Chin-A-Young)..
        + add $(CXXFLAGS) to link command in c++/Makefile.in (adapted from
          patch by Albert Chin-A-Young)..
        + fix a missing substitution in configure.in for "$target" needed for
          HPUX .so/.sl case.
        + resync CF_XOPEN_SOURCE configure macro with lynx; fixes IRIX64 and
          NetBSD 1.6 conflicts with _XOPEN_SOURCE.
        + make check for stdbool.h more specific, to ensure that including it
          will actually define/declare bool for the configured compiler.
        + rewrite ifdef's in curses.h relating NCURSES_BOOL and bool.  The
          intention of that is to #define NCURSES_BOOL as bool when the
          compiler declares bool, and to #define bool as NCURSES_BOOL when it
          does not (reported by Jim Gifford, Sam Varshavchik, cf: 20031213).
