Description

On Centos6 w/ devtoolset-3:

checking for NcursesW wide-character library... yes
checking for working ncursesw/curses.h... no
checking for working ncursesw.h... no
checking for working ncurses.h... no
configure: WARNING: could not find a working ncursesw/curses.h, ncursesw.h or ncurses.h
...
Making all in traffic_top
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/vagrant/trafficserver-6.1.0/cmd/traffic_top'
  CXX      traffic_top.o
traffic_top.cc:51:2: error: #error "SysV or X/Open-compatible Curses header file required"
 #error "SysV or X/Open-compatible Curses header file required"

The build is not supposed to try to build traffic_top if ncurses is not available.
