+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
+release. Although 'tack' is distributed with ncurses, it is not an
+integral part of ncurses. It may be removed from the release without
+limiting the usefulness of ncurses on those terminals described in the
+terminfo data base. The best way to remove 'tack' from the build is
+to delete or rename the 'tack' directory before running the configure
+script.
+
+Unlike most of ncurses the 'tack' program is covered under the GNU
+Public License.
