    FindCurses: Drop search for deprecated HP-UX cur_colr library · d931ba60
    Ådne Hovda authored and Brad King's avatar Brad King committed
    Since commit b22e2de8 (HPUX support, 2001-11-05) the FindCurses
    module searches for a 'cur_colr' library, but that is not needed
    anymore.  AFAICT, the cur_colr package was introduced in HP-UX 10.00 and
    marked as deprecated in 10.30 by X/OPEN curses (which replaced the even
    older HP curses in 10.10).
    
    In order to use cur_colr after 10.10 you should use the
    /usr/include/curses_colr when compiling.  Since FindCurses doesn't even
    search that path the headers cannot possibly match out of the box.  If
    users want cur_colr they can set the cache entries by hand.
    
    There is no 64-bit version of cur_colr in 11.11PA and it will be gone
    completely in 11.31PA:

    It is simplest to drop cur_colr support from FindCurses since it was
    only partially implemented anyway.
