+ rather than ${LD} to improve rpath support.

+ are created by the macro, to simplify clean-rules.
+ + CF_X_ATHENA - trim extra libraries to work with -Wl,--as-needed
+ + fix a regression in hashed-database support for NetBSD, which uses

+20130525
+ + modify mvcur() to distinguish between internal use by the ncurses
+ library, and external callers, preventing it from reading the content
+ of the screen which is only nonblank when curses calls have updated
