The ncurses detection was horribly ugly and broke on
a) systems where libncurses was installed in /usr/local/lib
b) systems where it was named libcurses instead of libncurses
As for what was wrong with the bash detection, go back and read
the patch. Since WHEN do we require bash to be in /bin?
If you are encouraging people to do things the way way lxdialog did it,
I can only say "God have mercy on our souls".
