Hello!

> Here is another simple patch to improve configure's behaviour on OpenBSD.

I don't understand what exactly your patch supposed to fix.  What is the
problem?  Have you tested your patch?  Does the problem go away?

OK, but your patch is for the MC_WITH_MCSLANG macro, which is only called
when using the included S-Lang library.  S-Lang doesn't understand
terminfo in a file.

It seems to me that your patch would force mc to use terminfo on a system
where terminfo is only available in an incompatible format.
