[PATCH] aclocal.m4: Enable configure to detect the presence of ncurses on OpenBSD 3.2



Hello,

OpenBSD 3.2 (I think also earlier versions, but cannot confirm) comes 
with ncurses as the default screen library. However it is installed as 
/usr/lib/libcurses.so, there is no libncurses in OpenBSD by default.

This patch alters the macro MC_WITH_NCURSES to properly handle this 
situation - it first tries to find the 'has_colors' symbol in libncurses 
and then fallbacks to libcurses.

Please check the patch for possible errors, since I'm not good in auto* 
stuff.

Thanks!
