DL_EXT for HP-UX

DL_EXT for HP-UX

[Paul Ackersviller]

I noticed that this make macro appears to want to default to .sl on
HP-UX, but it's not working that way on 11.  There's also a comment
in code to the effect that HPUXDYNAMIC should be defined on HP-UX 10.
There seems no need for that on 11, as modules are building fine
without it.

I'd be happy to work out a patch to update this, unless you prefer
to leave as is.

It would be splendid if you could produce a patch.  Thanks.

PATCH: set DL_EXT=sl for HP-UX

[Paul Ackersviller]

This is larger then needed mainly because I wanted to make the macro
HPUXDYNAMIC$ more descriptive as HPUX10DYNAMIC.  Let me know if that's
too much, and I'll take that piece out.

The other thing was to split the hpux cases from solaris to initialize
DL_EXT there.  I expect it should be alright to remove Hcurses from the
solaris list, but I have no such access to verify that.

 The library ncursesw is a variant of ncurses that supports wide characters.

Re-sending to the correct list so everything is tracked.
