 If curses is installed into some non-standard path, we currently have to
 say something like the following in `mk/build.mk`:
 {{{
 libraries/terminfo_CONFIGURE_OPTS += \
     --configure-option=--with-curses-includes=/somewhere/include \
     --configure-option=--with-curses-libraries=/somewhere/lib
 }}}

 This is because the top-level `configure` does not accept nor propagate
 `--with-curses-{includes,libraries}` to libraries while it does so for
 iconv, gmp and libffi. It would be nice if curses were handled in the same
 manner.

 I will soon submit a patch for this.
