watch: build error with ncurses6

Reported by: macports@… Owned by: mjhsieh@…

Component: ports Version: 2.3.3

Description

trying to upgrade 'watch' to latest: 3.3.6_0 < 3.3.6_1

it depends on ncurses, which is currently 6.0, but is looking for /opt/local/bin/ncurses5-config and ultimately fails because it doesn't exist: 

:notice:build --->  Building watch
:debug:build Executing proc-pre-org.macports.build-build-0
:error:build org.macports.build for port watch returned: couldn't execute "/opt/local/bin/ncurses5-config": no such file or directory
:debug:build Error code: NONE
:debug:build Backtrace: couldn't execute "/opt/local/bin/ncurses5-config": no such file or directory while executing

sorry, forgot to note build environment:

OS X Version 10.11 El Capitan Beta (15A243d) Xcode Version 7.0 beta 5 (7A176x)

(in case its somehow caused by the OS X or Xcode public betas)

ncurses doesn't provide an ncurses-config program; they only provide one with a version number in it. So if we change "ncurses5-config" to "ncurses6-config", this is just going to break again when ncurses 7 is released. So let's fix it right, by using pkg-config, since the pkg-config file doesn't have a version number in it. Patch attached. @mjhsieh, if there are no objections, I'm happy to commit it.
