<scratches head> Environment variables?

I just built a new screen package that uses libncurses10 instead of
libncurses9.  Please try it out and see if it makes a difference.

(1) In setup, make sure that crypt, libgcc1, and libncurses10 are
installed.

(2) Kill any running screen sessions.

(3) Run

wget \
 http://home.comcast.net/~andrex2/cygwin/screen/screen-4.0.3-5.tar.bz2
tar -C/ -xf screen-4.0.3-5.tar.bz2

Then run screen and let us know what happens.

Andrew.
