This probing has been changed four times in the past:
git log --grep get_wch
In March 2005, commit 2161fa62 changed the probe from get_wch() to
wget_wch(), reasoning that "get_wch() might be a macro instead of
a function". (Four months earlier, commit 3ba9c351 changed it
from addwstr() to wget_wch(), probably for the same reason.) But
three months later, in commit 25799f68, the probe gets changed to
get_wch() again, because "it's a more generic function"...
It seems clear that the non-macro argument is the stronger one.
See the NOTES section in 'man get_wch' for its possible macroness.

The Haiku recipe seems to detect a .git directory somewhere, even though
they are building from a tarball. So, check instead for the presence of
nano's release script, which ought to be present only in a git checkout,
not in a released tarball.
We do not provide an RPM package. And distros like Fedora, Mageia,
and Suse have their own spec files -- they don't need ours. And in
case anyone would like to create their own RPM package from nano,
they can look at the spec files of those distros.
Slang contains bugs that get triggered when resizing the terminal,
or rather: when its existing data structures get reinitialized.
Avoid those bugs by forcing the exclusion of the resizing code
when nano is configured with --with-slang.
(The only reason for not entirely eliminating the support for Slang
is to allow Debian to build a tiny nano against Slang for on their
install image.)

All tested systems (FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Alpine, and Ubuntu)
support the GNU-style word boundaries (\< and \>), either natively
or through using the regex module from gnulib.
If this change breaks regexes containing \< or \> on your system,
please report a bug: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?group=nano

Fail during the configure phase when it is not,
instead of failing cryptically during 'make'.
