READLINELINK needs lcurses

When compiling OpenFOAM 1.4.1 on Linux 2.6.19-1.2288.2.4.fc5 x86-64, linking of setSet failed due to unresolved references in libreadline.so. I found these functions in libcurses.so. In applications/utilities/mesh/manipulation/Optional/Allwmake I added -lcurses to the READLINELINK macro and it resolved the problem.

On our SuSE machines the readline library automatically includes libncurses but it doesn't hurt to include -lncurses in the READLINELINK macro so I will do so for the next release.

Henry, on my FC5 I have both a libcurses.so and a libncurses.so. I just tried -lncurses in the READLINELINK macro and it also worked fine.
