As far as I can tell, NCURSES_VERSION was added to interact with
ALT_CHAR_SET in LYCurses.c, at the time when BOXVERT and BOXHORI were
defined in a conflicting manner in userdefs.h and LYCurses.h. Since that
problem was fixed some time ago, I don't see a need for ALT_CHAR_SET or
NCURSES_VERSION in makefile.dos. The DOS version seems to compile just
fine without either. The following is a revised patch for makefile.dos.

The NCURSES define occurs in multiple files. I am not sure how many are
necessary for DOS with PDCurses. I don't think anyone made a specific
define for PDCurses.
