In the course of my project of the last couple hours of making
available recent, posix-free, optimized, obese, reasonably configured
binaries of some of the more common free programs and libraries, here
is ncurses-1.9.6.  To install on a typical system, just enter the
directory and 'make install'.

Note that this is not a 100% clean or extensively tested port.  In
particular the included version of 'tset' was so posixed that to get
it to compile at all, it had to be completely lobotomized.  I
recommend removing it and sticking with the one part of the OS
distribution.  It includes a few dirty hacks and not all that much
testing.  However, it does run the example programs correctly.

If you need to change compilation options to adapt the binaries to
local requirements (e.g. to change what architectures to compile for
-- the default is quad-fat), do _not_ rerun configure.  Instead edit
config.status, rerun it and remake.  It has been manually altered to
correct for some of the mistakes of the auto-configuration.
