Why is there a separate Cygwin definition there at at all?  It seems
like everything should be handled by HAVE_NCURSES_CURSES_H and
HAVE_NCURSES_TERM_H.  Either that or the #if for the HAVE_NCURSES_TERM_H
should be moved outside of the if for HAVE_NCURSES_CURSES_H.

Btw, I just checked and uninstalling the termcap package (assuming
this is what you mean) does not install /usr/include/term.h.  That's
not a file which is included in the termcap distribution.
