That's something I thought about, but then what happens if we found
both initscr and wborder in the same library, for instance "ncurses".
We would probably end up linking with the same -l<...> switch twice.
Not very elegant. Would you prefer this approach, though? I figured
that, since Hcurses is already HPUX-specific AFAIK, we might as well
take advantage of that knowledge and add -lcur_colr as I did. On the
other hand, mutter something about HP eventually finding their way to
the bright side of the force and putting wborder back inside Hcurses...

I prefer your suggestion too, shall I go ahead? Any objection?
