While building PDCurses 3.6 for Slackware x11, I found two problems that
do not exist with PDCurses 3.4.
1) There is no $(DESTDIR) variable in the x11/Makefile.in and so there is
no easy way to redirect the output from a "make install" command.
I normally use: "make install DESTDIR=<out-directory>"
and this works with PDCurses 3.4.
2) The /usr/include/xcurses.h and /usr/include/xpanel.h are not created.
These are created by PDCurses 3.4 and are used by THE 3.3RC4
Both of these problems can be fixed with this patch:
