Doesn't anyone use curseperl?  The mus munged call to getstr
becomes something like retval = getstr(&str) which really
wants to be getstr(str).  Similarly for wgetstr().

I don't know any mus, so I hacked the C output (yuk).  More elegant fixes
welcome :-)

[ Also, I don't know how this might affect anyone else, but I had to
  change the parameter to ?addch to be unsigned char, because I
  hacked my copy of BSD curses to be 8 bit clean.  It's probably
  no use to anyone else now though, because the tty handling became
  slightly System V dependent in the process (arrrrrggghhh :-) ]
