I repointed the symlinks in the gnu locker so that screen version 4.0.2
will now be the default after tonight's nightly release.  I've tested
that there's at least rudimentary interoperability with the previous
version, which is still available as screen-3.9.15.

The changes don't seem major, but I've seen people ask about a hook to
do something upon having been idle for n minutes.
