Hm, don't think it's that. But 'stdscr' is a variable, and the configure
test seems to be attempting to call it as if it's a function. This is
probably not a good thing to be doing.

This is a quick hack to fix it, but you should probably be including
ncurses.h to pick up the appropriate declaration of stdscr -- it's
different according to how ncurses was built.
