[PATCH]Fix menuconfig error message
If you try to run `make menuconfig' on a system that lacks ncurses development libs, you get an error message telling you to install ncurses-devel. Some popular distributions don't have an ncurses-devel package. This patch generalizes the error message. Patch is against 2.6.12. This patch fixes a silly typo conflating RPM-based systems with Debian derivatives and adds the name of the Debian package to install. MAINTAINERS doesn't list a maintainer for menuconfig or lxdialog, so I sent this to lkml, kbuild-devel, and to the kconfig maintainer.
