  Joel, the file I was referring to was generated from
`ncurses-5.7/include/ncurses.h.in'
which is the last official release of ncurses according to
GNU web site, so 'older versions" seems a bit early to me!
  In fact it is even worse than this:
the Cygwin distributed version is a patched version
from 2009/11/14 available at ftp://invisible-island.net/ncurses/5.7/
which means that it will probably be included in the next distribution.
