I looked up wint_t in the opengroup standards and they suggest that wint_t should
normally be defined in wchar.h.  Maybe try adding '#include <wchar.h>' to the top of 
that file?  On my system, it seems that curses.h was pulling in the wchar.h
definitions, which is why I didn't see that problem.

I should warn you that the next version of the gucu library will 
be quite different from this one.  I never liked how this one came out,
because of all the trouble I had with using Unicode characters with Guile,
which was not Unicode capable.  So I spent the last few months getting the 
complete unicode codepoint range into Guile itself (which mostly works as of
Guile 1.9.4), and now I'm hacking this GuCu guile curses library to take
advantage of that capability.

It should be a lot simpler when it is all done.

Thanks,

Mike
