- find the executables extension (needed under some OS, like Winblows)
- build tic in //
- simplify the make and install command lines

Final touch to the ncurses build step:
- use build tools to build tic, instead of native ones.

So I guess need to build ncurses host stage to build new tic

and provided a patch to that efect.

And in fact, we do need "tic" to run on the _build_ system to properly
generate the terminfo database.

Note: this is fully functional, but still requires a litle bit of
tweaking so that ${CT_BUILD}-gcc gets used instead of plain gcc.
But that's a minor problem for now...

Fix the menuconfig comment stating that native gdb needs a native ncurses
library, rather than saying it needs the ncurses library on the target.

Sanitise using glibc cvs exports:
- recently, tarballs for glibc 2.8 and 2.9 have appeared on the GNU ftp site
- always use a dot in version strings (eg. 2.9, not 2_9)

When patching, always assume the package has been previously extraacted (don't check).
"chmod u+w" the full src tree: because of nochdir and cvs snapshots, we can't reliably know were we are...
