autogenerated script used to run 'configure'

The bug has been there for years; only now I've bothered to file it. Even
though paths to 'ncurses' libraries are given to 'configure', in the
'configure' screen output I first see:

97 checking curses.h usability... no
     98 checking curses.h presence... no
     99 checking for curses.h... no
...

777 configure: libhal/libdbus development files not found, no dynamic
device support.
    778 configure: lib(n)curses development files not found, curses won't be
supported.
    779 configure: libv4l development files not found.
    780 configure: libgphoto2 development files not found, digital cameras
won't be supported.
    781 configure: liblcms development files not found, Color Management won't
be supported.
    782 configure: libcapi20 development files not found, ISDN won't be
supported.
    783 configure: libgsm development files not found, gsm 06.10 codec won't be
supported.
    784 configure: libopenal development files not found (or too old), OpenAL
won't be supported.
    785 configure: libldap (OpenLDAP) development files not found, LDAP won't
be supported.
.

Please see the to be attached autogenerated wrapper I am using to run
'configure' and please pay attention to presence of

/mnt/sdb8/sergei/AFSWD_debug/install/ncurses-5.7/bin
/mnt/sdb8/sergei/AFSWD_debug/install/ncurses-5.7/lib
/mnt/sdb8/sergei/AFSWD_debug/install/ncurses-5.7/include

in the corresponding environment variables.
