Summary: curses module doesn't build on MacOSX

Initial Comment:
The curses module fails to build on MacOSX 10.2.
There is apparently a mismatch between two definitions of wchar_t:

In file included from /Users/jack/src/python/Include/py_curses.h:6,
                 from /Users/jack/src/python/Modules/_cursesmodule.c:113:
/usr/include/ncurses.h:282: conflicting types for `wchar_t'
/usr/include/stdlib.h:77: previous declaration of `wchar_t'

I'm assigning this to you since you seem to be the most frequent committer of cursesmodule.c, so I hope you know what may be going on. Feel free to assign it back if I'm guessing wrong here, and I'll do the hunting.
