Re: ncurses portability

... or you can reconfigure with: "configure --datadir=/usr/lib"
if you don't plan to "make install.data"

I just finished compiling ncurses 4.0 on IRIX 6.2, with patches
ncurses-4.0-970104 through ncurses-4.0-970125 applied. It is
working, with this change to find terminfo, and one other strange
change: the files dft_fgbg.3x and lib_dft_fgbg.c ended up, after
patching, in the directory that I had the patch in, rather than
under the man and ncurses subdirectories, respectively, where they
belonged.
