That's odd... :/  Perhaps UnixWare 7 does something that the
configure scripts don't account for.  Hrmm... do you guys have
any UnixWare 7 machines for public access (or for me to login
to)?  Where is libcurses on that machine, and what's it called?
Maybe I can figure it out without needing to log in somewhere...

That's the problem with automake/autoconf... the error messages
are terrible.  The best thing you can do is start playing with
the generated output to find out where it went wrong, and try to
figure out how to get the input to generate that kind of an output.
At least... that's been my approach... that, and looking at what's
done on other projects...
