when ncurses not available, curses assumed |

Recently, when building the Emacs-23 branch on my Cygwin machine, I'd
forgotten to install curses-devel. The configure script should have
failed, but instead, compilation proceeded until linking, when the job
failed with /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/4.3.4/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld:
cannot find -lcurses
The configure script ought to look for ncurses, then curses, and fail
if neither is found (or at least unset TERMINFO)

More information was requested, but none was given within 5 weeks, so
I'll go ahead and assume this has been fixed in the years since this
was reported.
If this is still an issue with a modern version of Emacs, please
reopen the bug report.
Best regards,
