ncurses is now compiled with reentrant support, which had the
unfortunate effect of changing the API slightly, by making the WINDOW
object an opaque pointer.  Instead of accessing the members of curscr
directly, you use accessor functions:

  curscr->_cury ---> getcury(curscr)
  curscr->_curx ---> getcurx(cursrc)
