I did that a different way (there's a macro which I normally use for most
scripts).

I'm working on a fix for this now (have coded it, and have to check it on a
few platforms).  I spent all of last week on the ncurses changes that I finished
yesterday (investigating cross compiles led to review of not-recently-built stuff
which reminded me about the OpenBSD warning messages, etc).

tack is much simpler (I haven't tried cross compiling it yet ;-)
