The following package has been upgraded in the Cygwin distribution:
* vttest 20220827
Tests the functionality of a VT100 terminal (or emulator thereof).
Tests both display (escape sequence handling) and keyboard.
The program is menu-driven and contains full operating instructions.
To run a given menu-item, you enter its number. You can run all
menu-items (for a given level) by entering an asterisk, i.e, '*'.
It has been enhanced to support and test many xterm control and status
escape sequences, and it is mainly used nowadays for testing emulator
compatibility.

20220827 changes:
* modify alternate-screen tests to demonstrate the effect of setting
color, as well as making their use of DECALN optional.
* fix several minor issues reported by coverity and clang; a couple
of test results now handle zeroes in status results.
* improve checks for malloc failure, consolidating error-exits to use
strerror.
* updated/improved configure macros, i.e., for compiler-warnings
* update config.guess
