[gpsd-users] [PATCH] Add option to specify the path to ncurses5-config

[Thomas Petazzoni]

By default, gpsd's SConstruct looks in the PATH to find
ncurses5-config. However, in cross-compiling environments, we may need
to tell the SConstruct script to use another ncurses5-config script.

The following implements the equivalent of the
ac_cv_prog_ncurses5_config variable that exists to solve the same
problem in autoconf configure scripts.

The path to the ncurses5-config script can be passed using the
ncurses_config= variable. If no value is passed, the existing behavior
is preserved.
