Follow-up Comment #1:

Thanks for taking care of this.  It looks good, except for the following
minor points.

In configure.ac:
>AC_CHECK_PROGS([NCURSES_CONFIG], [ncurses{1..9}-config])
Please don't use brace expansion.  It is a bash extension not part of the
POSIX shell specification.  Since we only know about ncurses5-config and
ncurses8-config, I would just write those explicitly.

Also, it is merely nitpicking, but I don't see a good reason to rename
HAVE_NCURSES to LIBNCURSES_USABLE.
