SunOS 5.9 /usr/include/curses.h defines macros which result in compilation errors.

e.g. io/bounds.h:43, `inline void move(int deltax, int deltay)' becomes mangled by the macro definition `#define move(y, x) wmove(stdscr, y, x)' at curses.h:803. Adding -DNOMACROS to CFLAGS prevents curses.h from defining the macros.

    The same issue is present on AIX 3.5

    io/posix/sysdisplay.cc:245, makes use of the curses function resizeterm(), compilation fails on SunOS 5.9 and AIX 3.5

    io/posix/sysdisplay.cc:318, attr_t undefined type

    Basically all errors from using curses... maybe the configure script ought to fail if it cant find ncurses?
