Curses specification, but getmaxx, getmaxy, getbegx and getbegy are
unportable NetBSD-only extensions.

Change the manpage to say that it's all X/Open _except_ for the listed

While I agree that a list of _extensions_ should be provided,
once again I have to point out that providing extensions
does not affect _conformance_ (unless done badly). Please keep
this in mind when wording such reports.
