I am in a particular good mood now as you will soon see.

As it turned out I followed another route than in the
previous suggestion. The new patch is attached for your
reviewing. The build artifacts are as follows:

  Full builds:

    Debian Squeeze GNU/Linux (i386)
    Debian Sid GNU/Linux (i386)
    Debian Sid GNU/kFreeBSD (amd64)
    FreeBSD 8.0 (i386)
    OpenBSD 4.6 (i386) and 5.0 (qemu-i386)
    NetBSD 5.1 (qemu-i386)

  Partial builds:

    GNU/OpenSolaris NexentaCore 3.1 (i386)
    OpenIndiana oi_151a (i386)

    Both have "talk" and "talkd" disabled: no header file.
    Only build failures are "src/rshd" and "src/rlogind", since
    iruserok(3) is not available in their Libc implementation.
    The rest builds manually.

The new patch text is based on two principles, and a half:

  * Accept whatever "am/libcurses.am" claims about libncurses.

  * When having a choice, prefer libtermcap over libcurses for
    providing tgetent(3). This is true to the dichotomy that
    actually is implemented in the sets libtermcap/libtinfo/libcurses
    that are known to me.

    The patch switches test order for termcap versus curses,
    and adds macros for book-keeping and for code conditionals.

  * Prepare later augmentation for libterminfo. (No systems are
    known to me!)

Best regards,

   Mats
