Re: some patches

    but, after checking for ncurses/termcap.h i suppose this name conflict 
    is because the header not used.

Well, the right fix is to fix the configure test so that it will detect
whatever the right header is to use.  I can't change the fallback case
when there's no header, since that will definitely break other systems.

It does work on my gnu/linux systems, so there must be something
different about the libraries and/or headers on yours (ends up including
<ncurses/termcap.h> and linking with -lncurses).  Can you help?

Thanks for all the info.
