[CMake] FindCurses wide

I found this thread from a while ago while searching for how to get
ncurses to support wide chars:

http://www.mail-archive.com/cmake@cmake.org/msg15578.html

Please find attached a modified version of FindCurses.cmake that looks
for the wide variants of curses if asked. It's working for me... [this
is against a 2.6 module. I checked the 2.8 and it looks like some
boilerplate has been added, but it's otherwise the same].

Thanks,
Gary (-;

# Not sure the logic is correct here.
# If NCurses is required, use the function wsyncup() to check if the library
# has NCurses functionality (at least this is where it breaks on NetBSD).
# If wsyncup is in curses, use this one.
# If not, try to find ncurses and check if this has the symbol.
# Once the ncurses library is found, search the ncurses.h header first, but
# some web pages also say that even with ncurses there is not always a ncurses.h:
# http://osdir.com/ml/gnome.apps.mc.devel/2002-06/msg00029.html
# So at first try ncurses.h, if not found, try to find curses.h under the same
# prefix as the library was found, if still not found, try curses.h with the 
# default search paths.
