*ncurses-5.3 (17 Oct 2002)

  23 Oct 2002; Martin Schlemmer <azarah@gentoo.org> ncurses-5.3.ebuild :
  
  Because ncurses-5.3 have c++ bindings, we cannot enable them during
  bootstrap.  Thus disable it if "build" or "bootstrap" in USE, and
  then get bootstrap.sh to rebuild it afterwards without those flags.
  Also fix a problem where old build images had ncurses-5.2 libs, which
  did not get removed.

  17 Oct 2002; Nick Hadaway <raker@gentoo.org> ncurses-5.3.ebuild,
  files/digest-ncurses-5.3 :
  New version of ncurses.  Many years worth of fixes culminating to a
  new release.

  Change --enable-termcap to --disable-termcap.  This fixes the starup
  problems in screen with the presence of /etc/termcap.  This should
  close bug #7060.  NOTE: remerge screen after ncurses update.

*ncurses-5.2.20020511-r1 (9 Jun 2002)
	
  31 Jul 2002; Seemant Kulleen <seemant@gentoo.org> :

  the second gcc-3.1 patch (from files/) attempts to replace lines in the
  cursesw.cc file that do not even exist any longer.  the patch fails.  It
  has been commented out, with the hope that whoever generated it for the
  older snapshots will investigate and sort this out.  ncurses, it must be
  noted, appears to work well in production, despite the failed patch,
  anyway.

  24 Jul 2002; Spider <spider@gentoo.org> :
  change CXXFLAGS in the ebuild to accomodate for -fno-exceptions

  26 June 2002; mark Guertin <gerk@gentoo.org> :

  building bzip2 outside of USE="build" so this broke
  building stage1)

  9 Jun 2002; Dan Armak <danarmak@gentoo.org> :
  
  Add bzip2 as a dep so that said patch, which is compressed, can be applied.

*ncurses-5.2.20020511-r1 (26 May 2002)

  Small header file fix to make apps that use ncurses compile correctly with gcc3.
	
*ncurses-5.2.20020112a (21 Mar 2002)

  21 Mar 2002; Grant Goodyear <g2boojum@gentoo.org> :
