Changes since 1.7320508.406:
Oct 27 2012 Eric S. Raymond <esr@thyrsus.com>
* Repo conversion to git, including recovery of ancient history.
* Merged in Alexey Toptygin's code from 2005.
* ANSI/POSIX cleanup, magic-number removal, compiler warning fixes.
* Added some NKIs.
* Added comments identifying the ends of the NKI spans per version.
* Added "BEHOLD! A History of Confusion" to the texinfo docs.
* Esc is no longer bound, it's too slow.
* Frame the paying field.
* Major portion of version number changed to 1.6180339.
The NKIs are no longer hardcoded but provided in an external file. This
file is not installed by default, thus the post-install action. The
ncurses hack is still needed, even though configure.in looks as if there
were libcurses support.
