Thanks for queuing, but with the points which Sven mentioned we should
first agree on a way to detect things.

The simplest option which might only be present at very recent distro
versions is using pkg-config.
Second best is ncurses*5-config. There we have the strange situation
that "ncurses-bin" contains the config scripts although no build time
dependencies are installed along.
Third, we might only find either of nurses{,w}5-config.
And at last we might face the situation where the new ABI is used and
the script is named ncurses{,w}6-config.

Ugly but working would be a simple "||" chain. This would create
problems on debian/ubuntu which needs to be solved.

Any other suggestions how we can solve the problem?


Thanks
justin
