Fix compilation on platforms that split the ncurses and tinfo libraries
Some platforms compile ncurses in such a way that the tinfo library needs to be separately linked in (e.g. Gentoo). The tinfo library is a low-level library being used by and bundled with ncurses. Adding '-ltinfo' to WINTTYLIB in the hint files was considered the most robust solution to this problem. This still works on systems with ncurses 5.9. Using pkg-config was ruled out as the default build of ncurses doesn't install the necessary files.
