Under SunOS 5.9, building aspell required ncurses.

I see pkgsrc/devel/ncurses/builtin.mk has some checks to allow some
versions of NetBSD's curses to be good enough.

Is curses from Solaris good enough?

I noticed this when building due to error:

cd ../obj_lo;
/usr/local/pkgwork/devel/ncurses/work.loonquawl/.wrapper/bin/libtool
--tag=CXX --mode=compile
/usr/local/pkgwork/devel/ncurses/work.loonquawl/.wrapper/bin/g++ -I../c++

char*,
   ...)':
../c++/cursesw.cc:64: error: `::vsscanf' undeclared (first use here)
*** Error code 1

Stop.

I found it discussed at
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-ncurses/2004-07/msg00013.html

It appears that __EXTENSIONS__ is defined.

I am using /usr/pkg/gcc3/bin/g++ which is g++ (GCC) 3.3.4.
