Revision: 1.43
Committed: Fri Dec 1 14:21:16 2006 UTC (17 years, 11 months ago) by tdb
Branch: MAIN
Changes since 1.42: +2 -1 lines
Log Message:
Sort out curses detection. It'll now detect ncurses before curses, and
cope with the header files being in include or include/ncurses. I think
this will work in every case.

6 PLANS: We're now working towards a 1.0 release which is where we plan
7 to stabilise the API. We'll be doing test releases before hand,
8 but as always we'll like to hear about any bugs found in the
9 current release.
