NEED_NCURSES seems to link against ncurses.

I don't know. I'm just trying. I'm running 1.5.2.
Curses seems to ignore changes in the window size of xterm.
Ncurses seems to honor it, at least after Ctrl-L.
On FreeBsd I can have a white background with `default' when mutt is
linked against ncurses. On NetBsd mutt claims `default' to be unknown.
I can use `white' but this is really some kind of dark white (gray)
which I find a little ugly.
