perhaps - by overriding the configure script until I repair whatever's
wrong in that.  We could either try to make that ifdef-chunk work (rather
ugly) or disable it when it doesn't match the model, and use the fallback
I wrote for this purpose.  These symbols are defined:

HAVE_VFSCANF
HAVE__DOSCAN

so all you have to do to work-around is remove them from include/ncurses_cfg.h
