Good to know.

I have just installed Cygwin in Wine (as funny as it sounds) and found
this in curses.h:

#if BROKEN_LINKER 
#define  acs_map  acs_mapf() 
extern  const chtype * acs_mapf(void);
#else 
extern  chtype acs_map[];
#endif 

This code is not present in the unpatched ncurses sources.  The problem is
specific to Cygwin, and I'm not going to fix it, considering that the
worst consequence is a warning.

Actually, some people were complaining about not having ^M.
