+dnl This is a simple configuration-script for the ncurses test programs that
+dnl allows the test-directory to be separately configured against a reference
+dnl system (i.e., sysvr4 curses)
+dnl
+dnl If you're configuring ncurses, you shouldn't need to use this script.
+dnl It's only for testing purposes.
+dnl
+dnl See http://invisible-island.net/autoconf/ for additional information.
