Yes... I did this not just to fix the build.

I really would like to have a curses-based GDB.  In some situations, it
really helps to have source window update while you step.

I have other patches to:

 - Cleanup defs.h to include only tui.h (and avoid inclusion of curses.h
   which breaks monitor.c and some others)
 - Improvement to install a specific Keymap in readline
   ('n' -> next, 's' -> step, 'c' -> continue, and so on)
 - Remove the __STDC__ stuff.

Hum... there are more work but this could be interesting...

Well, I'm a little bit stuck because I can't generate patches as fast as 
I modify this code.
