Well, actually, there is the conditional for curses v. ncurses, and
there is the conditional for -ldb vs. -ldbm... I wish there were a
way to do feature checks.. But that wouldn't help, since the clients
are going to require the appropriate shared libraries anyways.
I think that HJ changed from curses to ncurses and dbm to db in 5.2.x,
which is what I'm using to compile. True, there isn't a good reason
to base features on kernel version, but it isn't just kernel version
that I'm basing this on; I'm basing it on the whole "Linux-Athena"
system 2..

This is why I changed the appropriate Imake.rules as well to pass it
down. So this still works, too. I just caught one I missed, and I'm
about to check that in, too. :)
