Please stick to a single separator, i.e. "3.6.0.0". The dash is already
used by distributions to mark same-source releases.

Ugh, hg. There goes any chance for contributions.

Not again. autoreconf has existed for so long, why are people still 
hand-coding the boilerplate?

There normally is no excuse for not using -Wall by default,
save for trying to compile it with msvc.

All of this seems pointless because you never use the results
(HAVE_FCNTL_H, HAVE_LIMITS_H, etc.)

ncurses has the ncurses{w,}{6,5}-config scripts that ought to be called
to determine the locations.
