It's done for operating systems where S-Lang actually needs some function
(setupterm) from the native curses library.  It's almost certainly wrong
and unnecessary on Cygwin.

I think this should be done differently.  The configure script should
check if it's possible to link without curses and fall back if it doesn't
work.

Thank you for report!
