ncurses on ubuntu and cygwin

By adding ncurses to cygwin you get a more robust terminal that reformats the text when you resize the rxvt terminal.  You get the clear command and it facilitates searching within a "less" command to say a few of the benefits.

Same is true for ubuntu.  I was suprised that my 10.04 installed did not include it by default.

sudo apt-get ncurses-term
