RE: [RFA] Fix compilation failure on cygwin due to ncurses macro.

["Pierre Muller" <pierre dot muller at ics-cnrs dot unistra dot fr>]

What about this:
      /* We need to cast the return value of wstandout to void because
         in patches to release "5.7" of ncurses dated after 2009/05/16,
         the wstandout macro expands to code that generates a unused-value
         warning at compilation.  */

  
At least, this is what I understood from the patched ncurses NEWS:

20090516
       + work around antique BSD game's manipulation of stdscr, etc., versus
         SCREEN's copy of the pointer (Debian #528411).
       + add a cast to wattrset macro to avoid compiler warning when
comparing
         its result against ERR (adapted from patch by Matt Kraii, Debian
         #528374).

But I couldn't get the patch itself...
