Summary: curses module doesn't build on HP-UX

Initial Comment:
The curses module does not build on HP-UX 11.00 (don't
know about other versions). The reason according to
Peter Stoldt (peter_stoldt@hp.com) who provided the fix
below is to look for the curses header file in a
different directory.

Here is his fix:
In py_curses.h exchange the line with
 
 #include <curses.h>
 
 with
 
 #include <curses_colr/curses.h>

This would have to be done in a platform specific way
of course. Perhaps all it takes is adding the
curses_colr/ dir to the compiler call as -I option...
not sure.

It seems reasonable to check for that directory in the 
configure script, and use it if present.  I'll do that.
