I restructured things to pick up some of the combinations that make the
curses library rely on the termcap library.  I thought it worked with
FreeBSD 2.1.5 (using the default curses as well as both flavors of ncurses
- though I should re-test that).

In any case, the config.log file will contain the actual error message,
and from that I can (usually) isolate the problem.
