Latest version of ax_with_curses.m4 supports pkg-config. This is important
as libcurses is split into libcurses.so and libtinfo.so on many distros
and linking against libcurses.so is not sufficiant. Pkg-config allows
proper detection of necessary libs.

I ended up reverting this change because the AX_WITH_CURSES macro will call pkg-config automatically.
