Oh, I overlooked that one, as it starts with "lib" - I don't understand 
that output format of cygcheck, actually.

Another issue comes to my mind: cygwin (like some Linux distributions) 
does not provide ncurses.h in /usr/include anymore but hides it in 
/usr/include/ncurses and /usr/include/ncursesw. This may likely be the 
problem; traditional packages don't find it there.
