hmm - I have a 3.1 on one of my machines, but neglected to retest that.
(actually I also have a 2.x as well, but it's not network-capable, so
I don't often build on that configuration).

I built/tested on FreeBSD 4.0, NetBSD 1.5 and OpenBSD 2.8).  The underlying
problem with FreeBSD 3.x is that it has ncurses 1.8.6, which (if it weren't
hacked up) would build normally but couldn't do color-style (it's missing some
definitions as you note.  I'll take a look at the 3.1 & see if what's to be
done.  (I do regular test-builds on Linux with versions of ncurses from
1.8.6 to 5.2, which is simply a matter running a script for an hour).
