Yes... I did this not just to fix the build.
I really would like to have a curses-based GDB. In some situations, it
really helps to have source window update while you step.
I have other patches to:
- Cleanup defs.h to include only tui.h (and avoid inclusion of curses.h
which breaks monitor.c and some others)
- Improvement to install a specific Keymap in readline
('n' -> next, 's' -> step, 'c' -> continue, and so on)
- Remove the __STDC__ stuff.

Hum... there are more work but this could be interesting...

Well, I'm a little bit stuck because I can't generate patches as fast as
I modify this code.
