Previous versions of gcal showed the current day in reverse video and
holidays in bold by default. As of the 4.1-4 upload, this seems to have
broken. The current day is shown surrounded by <> and holidays shown
surrounded by ::.

I'm using a UTF-8 locale in case it matters, with:

export GCAL='-q US_CA -n'

and I'm running `gcal .` from the command line without using a pager.
I didn't see a note in the changelog that sounded directly relevant to
this, so I'm guessing this may have been an unintentional change.

Hi Russ,

yes, that was not intended.
The current version of autotools don't find the ncurses library anymore.
I will dig into it ...
