How to install Ncurses/Terminfo on your system
---------------------------------------------------------------------
For testing, compile with debug option.
This also sets the --disable-leaks option.
+ --with-wrap-prefix=XXX
+ When using the --enable-reentrant option, ncurses redefines variables
+ that would be global in curses, e.g., LINES, as a macro that calls a
+ "wrapping" function which fetches the data from the current SCREEN
+ structure. Normally that function is named by prepending "_nc_" to the
+ variable's name. The function is technically private (since portable
+ applications would not refer directly to it). But according to one
+ line of reasoning, it is not the same type of "private" as functions
+ which applications should not call even via a macro. This configure
+ option lets you choose the prefix for these wrapped variables.

--without-ada
Suppress the configure script's check for Ada95, do not build the
Ada95 binding and related demo.
