ok.  that'll be close (my recollection is that PDCurses is SVr3, which doesn't
do colored backgrounds in the same way as SVr4 - but colored text should render
properly).

you can check the SVr3/SVr4 business by seeing if the implementation has
the wbkgd function - SVr4 moves some of the assumptions about window attributes
out of the wattrset logic.  If you "need" to fix behavior in that area, it
should be conditioned on the symbol HAVE_WBKGD, which is easily tested in
a configure script on *NIX.
