ITP: 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. Since I have updated
cygwin's ncurses package(s) to 5.7, the new versions are "deficient"
compared to the old ones.  This package remedies that.

tack is part of Fedora 7, 8, 9, and 10:
