20001125
        + modify logic in lib_setup.c to allow either lines or columns value
          from terminfo to be used if the screen size cannot be determined
          dynamically rather than requiring both (patch by Ehud Karni
          <address@hidden>).
        + add check in lib_tgoto.c's is_termcap() function to reject null or
          empty strings (reported by Valentin Nechayev <address@hidden> to
          freebsd-bugs).
        + add definition from configure script that denotes the path-separator,
          which is normally a colon.  The path-separator is a semicolon on
          OS/2 EMX and similar systems which may use a colon within pathnames.
        + alter logic to set default for --disable-overwrite option to set it
          to 'yes' if the --prefix/$prefix value is not /usr/local, thereby
          accommodating the most common cause of problems: gcc's nonstandard
          search rules.  Other locations such as /usr/local/ncurses will default
          to overwriting (report by Lars Hecking <address@hidden>).
