Summary: oot builds don't build _curses_panel

Initial Comment:
Out-of-tree builds of python (i.e.

$ cd PATH/TO/Python/src
$ mkdir build
$ cd ./build
$ ../configure && make

) don't build the _curses_panel extension.  I think
this line from setup.py:

        if (os.path.exists('Modules/_curses_panel.c')
and ...

is why.  Either

(1) this line should be fixed to actually point at the
source
(2) this check should simply be hacked out.  What's it
doing there?
