Clarify build requirements

Document the need for the XSI Extension.  Don't list curses as
required, it's actually optional.  Correct advice for Solaris.  Add
advice for AIX.  Drop references to C89; we actually require C99, and
POSIX.1-2001 provides it.

Solaris supports POSIX.1-2001, but you need to set up your
environment for that. Try passing

Likewise, AIX needs XPG_SUS_ENV=ON.
