Update ax_with_curses.m4 and ax_with_curses_extra.m4 to match PKG_CHECK_MODULES
* Ultimately, ax_with_curses.m4 and ax_with_curses_extra.m4 should fall out of use once ncurses pkg-config files have become ubiquitous in the ecosystem. Until then, the precious variables have been renamed to match the style of PKG_CHECK_MODULES, such that a later replacement of the macros can be performed with a simple sed.

* Noteworthy changes in release ?.? (????-??-??) [?]
+ AX_WITH_CURSES and AX_WITH_CURSES_* macros have been modernized, in line
+ with PKG_CHECK_MODULES's style. This change breaks the interface, but
+ makes AX_WITH_CURSES compatible and even completely replaceable with the
+ interface of PKG_CHECK_MODULES. Ultimately, these macros should be
+ replaced in the future by calls to PKG_CHECK_MODULES. Variables in
+ AX_WITH_CURSES have been renamed
+
+ CURSES_LIB -> CURSES_LIBS
+ CURSES_CPPFLAGS -> CURSES_CFLAGS
+
+ and for the AX_WITH_CURSES_* macros
+
+ PANEL_LIB -> PANEL_LIBS
+ MENU_LIB -> MENU_LIBS
+ FORM_LIB -> FORM_LIBS
+
+ such that once the variables have been renamed in configure.ac and Makefile.am,
+ the calls AX_WITH_CURSES and PKG_CHECK_MODULES([CURSES], [ncurses]) are
+ completely interchangeable.

* Noteworthy changes in release 2016.03.20 (2016-03-20) [stable]
