Details:

Some distributions ( mandriva for example ) use -Werror=format-security by
default when build C software to try to enhance code quality and prevent
security bugs. As the policy is to correct all occurences of the error ( so
there is no false positive, nor question about to fix it or not ), a patch
that fix the error on gnu screen 4.0.3 have been added to the package. I have
rediffed it against latest git snapshot, to be sent upstream.

It mainly add "%s" where applicable.
