There were no objections, so I checked this patch in after reverifying it
by buiding GDB on x86-linux before the patch (linked to libtermcap.so),
after the patch but without --with-curses (linked to libtermcap.so) and
after the patch using --with-curses (linked to libtermcap.so).

I've also run the regression testsuite, but this time on x86_64-linux
(faster).

I'm trying to decide whether this is worth a NEWS entry or not, and
I am currently leaning towards not. The NEWS file for the upcoming
7.0 release is quite substantial at this point, and I don't want to
dilute it with something that's relatively minor. I checked the
manual too on the section about configuring GDB, and it only describes
the most important command line switches.

So I think it makes sense to not document this feature further.
``configure --help'' shows:

|  --with-curses           use the curses library instead of the termcap
|                          library
