INSTALL.adoc: explain why configure looks for the curses library.
Hint: it is used in the toplevel to highlight errors using something nicer than a bunch of (slightly-misaligned) '^' on a new line. NB: $curseslibs ends up in $BYTECCLIBS and we probably link against curses in the bytecode runtime while we only need it for the toplevel.master
