I'm not sure (don't have all of the details from this thread in my head).
The configure script looks for ncurses-specific stuff if you tell it to 
use --with-screen=ncurses; otherwise it only looks for generic curses 
stuff (and won't set HAVE_NCURSES_H, iirc).

There are a number of reasons for this (one is to allow lynx to be built 
reliably with either ncurses or a "native" curses implementation installed 
in the standard locations.
