* refine CJK-related suppress of refresh() in statusline() to do this only
  when the status line does not contain CJK characters (Hataguchi Takeshi)
* add po/da.po placeholder (request by JS)
* implement %s, %t, %{charset} and %{encoding} substitutions for mailcap
  commands in HTFWriter.c (addresses Debian #21096) -TD
* use new function AnchorsOnThisLine() to obtain count of anchors on the
  current line for correct computation of length required to fix Debian #68542:
  Text entry field on http://lists.debian.org/ is hidden when "form fields are
  numbered" (reported by H.Nanosecond) -TD
* add OS/2 cases to config.guess, config.sub -TD
* modify CF_FUNC_GETADDRINFO to supply missing definitions for
  HAVE_GAI_STRERROR and HAVE_GETADDRINFO, needed to make IPV6 build (reported
  by Wesley Morgan) -TD
* reset recent_sizechange after reading KEY_RESIZE from ncurses to work around
  a case with Linux libc5 which would be treated as an EOF, causing an exit -TD
* suppress PG's endwin/newterm code for ncurses because it is not needed -TD
* modify start_curses() function to preset environment variables $LINES and
  $COLUMNS to make the curses library see the proper screen size.  After
  calling endwin(), delete the current SCREEN object, to force curses library
  to discard its cached values of LINES and COLS.  This requires using
  newterm(), which may not be present in all versions of curses, so we check
  for and ifdef accordingly.  Tested on os390 and Solaris -PG
* cleanup IPV6 ifdef's using SOCKETADDR_LEN macro -TD
* add error checks to LYCopyFile() and other places to report problems copying
  the downloaded file, using new functions LYCloseOutput(), LYCanWriteFile()
  (reported by H.Nanosecond <address@hidden> as Debian bug #63391) -TD
* correct logic used to check for "Too many tempfiles", which resulted in
  occasional misfires -TD
* add configure checks for touchline() and touchwin(), use this info to work
  with Ultrix V4.5 (report by Bernhard Simon <address@hidden>) -TD
* reorganized CF_SIZECHANGE macro to work with autoconf 2.49a -TD
* cleanup definitions for wait-status macros, moving them into www_wait.h -TD
