[gpm] [patch] fix circular linking between ncurses and gpm

the problem is that ncurses has optional gpm support while gpm has optional 
ncurses support.  if you link ncurses against gpm and gpm against ncurses, 
this creates a circular dependency loop which makes a lot of programs 
unhappy.

you can find the Gentoo bug about it here:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=80942
and the Redhat bug here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=117150

find attached the patch from Fedora to resolve this ... i imagine you'll want 
to do more with the autotools portion :)
