You can check for a ./configure option. Depending on how big the libcurses
library is you could end up with a large exeacutable. Also I'm not sure,
but you might run into problems where libraries libncurses needs are
missing on the other sun system as well. Your best bet would be to install
the ncurses stuff on the new machine.
