what version (and patch date) for ncurses?

I've fixed things in this several times.  The release versions in contrast 
to the development versions tend to handle --srcdir properly, though it's 
possible that there is some particular configuration that doesn't work. 
I just checked ncurses 5.5, and it seems to work properly for the usual 
case I test for this (side-by-side directories).
