building on Windows

[lm8]

Tried building cursynth on Windows using MinGW and msys. It builds successfully, but it needed the following patches to do so. While either ncurses of pdcurses is available on both Linux, BSD and Windows platforms, Windows builds typically use pdcurses. I replaced the link to the ncurses library in src/Makefile with -lpdcurses and the patches switch from the ncurses header to the pdcurses header file on Windows. Might be nicer to give the user the option to pick ncurses or pdcurses instead of defaulting by platform. Also, on most systems mkdir takes to arguments, but on Windows, it just takes one. Windows streams are typically text instead of binary based unless specified as binary.

Hey! Sorry I didn't respond for a while.
I'll look this over and get back to you.
