I ran into a minor glitch installing 2.2 (beta) on ditka,
a 3B1 (aka UNIX PC) running the 3.51 relase of the system
software.  Configure decided to use "-lcurses" in the link
commands, which produced a clean link but an executable
that failed on tgetent().

Some experimentation revealed that "-ltermcap -lcurses" is
needed on this machine, in that order.  If Configure should
not be dealing with such a bogosity it might at least be
worth a comment in the installation notes.
