Caveat:  there is no Cygwin environment here for me to play on, so
I can only take some guesses.

Can you show me the configure output for this bit, and the make output
for the file that failed?  I'm a bit confused as to how it could find
ncurses.h but not term.h since they're likely in the same place.

This also seems not possible for me to reproduce.  A few lines above
that function is where <libintl.h> should be included, with the
declaration for gettext().  Any idea what could be happening?  Is
gettext() not in your header file?

Fixed in the CVS but not yet distributed.

Okay, fixed.  Thanks.

Obviously correct.  Thanks there too.
