afflib patch to handle the new lib: tinfo

[Greg Freemyer]

Simson,

I'm maintaining afflib in the opensuse security repo.

The various distros are in the process of breaking lib ncurses into 2
pieces as I understand it.

Here's the opensuse announcement, but they say that Fedora and others
have already done it.

http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-packaging/2011-11/msg00055.html

Anyway,the below patch fixes it for openSUSE, both old releases
continue to build, and the "factory" version builds again.

################################################################

Without the patch, tgetent is not defined and the build fails with the
new ncurses structure.

Obviously, the patch just says to search through a list of libraries
until it finds the tgetent and add that library and headers to the
compile/link list. The above line was recommended as the generic fix
for opensuse packages needing to use tgetent, so I assume it should
work with all distros.

Thanks
Greg

Simson,

The opensuse ncurses package got some extra magic and no longer needs
the below patch.

I don't think it hurts anything, but feel free to drop it on the floor
if no one else is reporting problems.

Greg
