WDTY by "now"?

Could you add some rationale words to the proposed commit log, please?

Thanks,
Pedro Alves

I cc'ed Corinna. I assume she can speak to when libtermcap.a was removed.

Like what? This removes a hack that was dependent on the presence of one
of the multiple alternative libraries. And the one it was hard-coded to
pick isn't
included with Cygwin anymore.

Happy to change the text but it felt like I was removing a hack that had
outlived
its usefulness. :)

That's so much clearer.

That too is useful information.

And that too.

The problem is that you had no text at all beyond the ChangeLog.  See:

 https://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/ContributionChecklist#Detailed_Explanation_of_the_Patch

Particularly, 3.1, first bullet.

Thanks,

I have no idea, ages ago.  libncurses is used for a long time.  Cygwin
should use the same autoconf code to figure out the correct lib as any
other target.
