Is it the standard ncurses that now builds out of the box on MinGW,
or a modified version?

It makes building GDB from sources a little harder on Windows/MinGW,
but I think that would be fine.

In the meantime, if it's a larger project, I suggest we can put the hack
I provided in place. I don't think it'll harm us, and it should solve
Pierre's issue while we work on using ncurses.
