The ncurses library allows for extended colors. The support for extended
colors support depends on wide-character support. ncurses headers
enable extended colors (NCURSES_EXT_COLORS) only when wide-character
support is enabled (NCURSES_WIDECHAR).
The "make menuconfig" uses wide-character ncursesw library, which can be
compiled with wide-character support, but does not define NCURSES_WIDECHAR
and it's using headers without wide-character (and extended colors) support.
This fixes problems with colors on systems with enabled extended colors
(like PLD Linux). Without this patch "make menuconfig" is hard to use.

The correct syntax for gcc -x is "gcc -x assembler", not
"gcc -xassembler". Even though the latter happens to work, the former
is what is documented in the manual page and thus what gcc wrappers
such as icecream do expect.
This isn't a cosmetic change. The missing space prevents icecream from
recognizing compilation tasks it can't handle, leading to silent kernel
miscompilations.
Besides me, credits go to Michael Matz and Dirk Mueller for
investigating the miscompilation issue and tracking it down to this
incorrect -x parameter syntax.

Import libraries on Cygwin and MinGW/MSYS use the .dll.a suffix, so
checking this suffix is necessary to make sure ncurses will still be
found when built without static libraries.

Commit 8c41e5e363db55d91aa3b1cdce4ab02ad9821de7 added a check for
ncursesw/curses.h for the case where ncurses and ncursesw are build
separately but only one is installed. But if both are installed,
the headers ncurses/curses.h and ncursesw/curses.h differ, and since
libncursesw will be found first, so should ncursesw/curses.h.

In 60f33b8 (kconfig: get rid of stray a.o, support ncursesw, 2006-01-15),
support to link menuconfig with ncursesw library was added. To compute
the linker command option -l, we check "libncursesw.{so,a,dylib}" to allow
ncursesw to be used as a replacement ncurses. However, when checking what
header file to include, we do not check /usr/include/ncursesw directory.
Add /usr/include/ncursesw to the list of directories that are checked.
With this patch, on my Debian Lenny box with libncursesw5-dev package but
not libncurses5-dev package, I can say "make menuconfig".

This reverts commit e91bc53d0c.
Let's get back to a state that matches upstream so we can pull in all of
their fixes from the last few years.

the lib was checked but the include not, do so.
TODO: check if upstream fixed that already or fix it there, too.
