The indirect 'configure' scripts need to preserve the exit

The fix, which is trivial, I leave as an exercise.
So, what is the fix? I'm lazy.
Goodness, I'll say. :)

Anyway, when the curses library isn't found configure will continue.
This is because on a few platforms the functionality is included in the
standard libraries and Vim can be build anyway.
Not when using '--with-tlib=ncurses' it won't. However, I consider this
a GOOD thing; if I *tell* it to use ncurses, I expect it to either do
so, or fail. Particularly on HP-UX (at least, I think HP-UX is where I
had the problem), it otherwise wants to fall back on termlib which
results in reduced functionality. Of course, if I /don't/ explicitly use
'--with-tlib', then it's OK for it to fall back on termlib and continue
(and it does, as evidenced by the case where I did get termlib instead
of curses, which is why I started using --with-tlib=ncurses in the first
place).
