Subject: tiny patch for tputs usage in sysdep.cc

A small patch for upcoming gcc-2.95, which is not quite so permissive.

The problem is that tputs prototype is not visible in sysdep.cc.
One way to handle the tputs issue is to include the correct header
by using the ac_cv_lib_*_tputs variables (just using HAVE_TERMCAP_H
loses on systems with ncurses/term.h, but no termcap), but that's 
simply too complicated. So, I'm just adding the prototype directly.

	* sysdep.cc (tputs): Prototype.
	(clc): Properly cast function pointer.
