>Description:

halfdelay(N) is the function supposedly needed by aspell to do its work in
curses mode.  This is not actually needed; it can be emulated by the
sequence cbreak(); timeout(N*100).

With attached additional patch, aspell compiles and runs just fine on
NetBSD 1.6.x with system-supplied curses.  Do note that I haven't confirmed
proper poperation on 1.5.x, but there are no additional functions listed in
the former needs-ncurses comment.
