20010203
        + broaden patterns used to match OS/2 EMX in configure script to cover
          variant used in newer config.guess/config.sub
        + remove changequote() calls from configure script, since this feature
          is broken in the autoconf 2.49c alpha, maintainers decline to fix.
        + remove macro callPutChar() from tty_update.c, since this is no longer
          needed (reported by Philippe Blain).
        + add a null-pointer check in tic.c to handle the case when the input
          file is really empty.  Modify the next_char() function in comp_scan.c
          to allow arbitrarily long lines, and incidentally supply a newline to
          files that do not end in a newline.  These changes improve tic's
          recovery from attempts to read binary files, e.g., its output from
          the terminfo database (reported by Bernhard Rosenkraenzer).
