Hmm... this i is first time I see this problem. Ah yes, it seems we
need another permutation for the wonderful ncurses world :-)

Unfortunately on Fedora we have two ncurses libs (wide/nonwide), but
only one tinfo lib. So, the patch without fallback to tinfo is
useless.
I've committed a little different solution. I've added UL_TINFO_CHECK()
and call it from configure with "tinfow" and fallback to "tinfo" if
not found the widechar version or for non-widechar ncurses.
Please, test it for your environment. I'd like to release -rc1 ASAP.
Thanks!
