That was an intermediate step in making a target which works on Scott's
machine (that is solaris2-ncurses), but I left it in since I don't know
whether the one I ended up with is better or more general for others
than what you gave.  I didn't spend much effort on adapting the Makefile
to the RP changes, so others will still have to custumize it, and maybe
experiment and see what works for them.

As you did: :)
