hmm - one question raises several more.  The natural place to add that
would be to parameterize this chunk in curses.h.in, to allow different
header files to be included:

#if @NEED_WCHAR_H@
#include <wchar.h>              /* ...to get mbstate_t, etc. */
#endif

But the name "_mbstate_t.h" looks like someone's notion of a private
header file.  Is that not included by some other header file as well?
(possibly an ifdef needs to be set).
