but it doesn't really solve the problem - PDCurses is not released often
(so you don't know when it would be incorporated), and there's existing
versions out there.  Better to do both (add a fallback definition in the
non-autoconf'd section of LYCurses.h, ifdef'd with PDCURSES - or preferably
USE_PDCURSES, since it's easier to grep for related configuration options).
There's a lot of places where DOSPATH is used to mean PDCurses - I'd make
a patch to clean some of it up, but don't have a compile-platform to test on.
