if you really do understand makefiles, constructing one manually from
makefile.in is not a big deal. unfortunately this is not the case
for most people. (the makefile before the configure script had
roughly 50 platform/library combinations, and about half did not
really build).

did you build your own libncurses? (I'm aware that the cygwin people are
tinkering with shared libraries, but haven't seen it working - I've built
on cygwin statically only).
