New: tack-1.06-1

The tack program is a diagnostic that is designed to create and verify
the correctness of terminfo's.  This program can be used to create new
terminal descriptions that are not included in the standard terminfo
database.

tack was distributed as part of the ncurses package until (upstream)
5.7, when it was spun out into its own package.  Because cygwin's
ncurses package(s) have recently been updated to 5.7, the new versions
are "deficient" compared to the old ones.  This package remedies that.

This release is cygwin-1.5 specific.  There is a different release for
cygwin-1.7.
