Surprisingly it compiled well without the two lines; no compilation error
found so far. But I could not run it because my MinGW32/Msys environment
lacks curses support. I don't plan to install curses (in fact I don't even
know if it's aviable). Perhaps the comp. error only shows up when configure
finds curses support!? Anyway - this has to wait until I find the time to
get a linux box up and running.

view.pike is not included in the current 3.5.3 tarball - is that intentional?
I picked it out of CVS. Pike looks neat indeed - but I'm a bit afraid of
learning yet another prog. language like C#, Java or Python :-)
I'll give it a try though - aiming at learning more about GNU Go and
comparing view.pike to the potential of the analyze-commands of GoGUI.

Paul, please note that the following will not suffice as a patch
to eliminate libdfa.a from the Makefile. Needn't the setting of
debugboard_DEPENDENCIES be changed too?
