Ah, I had another issues with ncurses on debian, so I forget to very
this one. Fixed now (I hope).

The issue is that we get -lncursesw from pkg-config (probably due to
installed ncursesw-config), but the rest of the build system assumes
non-widechar version. It seems better to use pkg-config as fallback
solution only.

The file linux/unistd.h is unnecessary for dmesg (fixed), but we have
many another places where kernel header files are required.
So, now the header file <linux/version.h> is required by ./configure
on Linux. I guess it's not overkill.
