Hi Yuri, all.

First, thanks to all of you for that release.

I’ve updated « my » packages on OpenSuSe Build Service to 4.8.16 
for the following distros:

CentOS and Scientific Linux 6 i586 and x86_64.
CentOS and Scientific Linux 7 x86_64.
Fedora 20, 21, 22, i586 and x86_64.

I’ve used official tar.xz package, and mc was built with the 
following options:
        --with-screen=slang \
        --enable-charset \
        --without-x \
        --with-gpm-mouse \
        --disable-rpath \
        --enable-vfs-smb \
        --enable-vfs-sftp \
        --enable-aspell \
        --enable-vfs-mcfs
