Sorry for that, see below.

I offered to take ncurses when Bruce put it at disposal, but his
response got lost as we found out in private email, probably due to
problems at my provider's. Sorry for that.
Furthermore I am inclined to defer downloading large packages like gcc
and the like until next week since I'm changing technology (ISDN) and
provider and get another 1Gig :)
In case you can't wait, feel free to drop me a note, I'll try to find
a solution.

I'd prefer to leave it in /usr/lib/ncurses (don't like monster
directories) but I'm not religious about that.
