Summary: Last build problems on AIX

Initial Comment:
Compilation fails with an error indicating that tparm 
is called with too few parameters in the file 
_cursesmodule.c

The file _cursesmodule.c calls tparm() with a define 
to check if it is HPUX or not. The reason is that 
tparm can be either defined with 10 arguments or with 
a variable number of parameters. 

On AIX you have both, but the standard is the one with 
10 parameters. If you want the variable number of 
parameters you have to define _TPARM_COMPAT.

So there are two solutions (look in _cursesmodule.c, 
function PyCurses_tparm):
1) Change the ifdef around the tparm with 10 arguments 
to also include AIX (you can use _AIX for this).

2) Define _TPARM_COMPAT if we are running on AIX.

I've checked version 2.63, and it is ok.

Right, I think that's fixed in revision 2.62 of _cursesmodule.c.

Is it easy for you to check current CVS?

I think _AIX should do the trick.

Argh!  <thumps head on desk in general frustration at unix>

At least this should be easy to fix.  What's a good
preprocessor symbol for AIX?
