- Add ncurses patch 20140524
  + fix typo in ncurses manpage for the NCURSES_NO_MAGIC_COOKIE
    environment variable.
  + improve discussion of input-echoing in curs_getch.3x
  + clarify discussion in curs_addch.3x of wrapping.
  + modify parametrized.h to make fln non-padded.
  + correct several entries which had termcap-style padding used in
    terminfo: adm21, aj510, alto-h19, att605-pc, x820 -TD
  + correct syntax for padding in some entries: dg211, h19 -TD
  + correct ti924-8 which had confused padding versus octal escapes -TD
  + correct padding in sbi entry -TD
  + fix an old bug in the termcap emulation; "%i" was ignored in tparm()
    because the parameters to be incremented were already on the internal
    stack (report by Corinna Vinschen).
  + modify tic's "-c" option to take into account the "-C" option to
    activate additional checks which compare the results from running
    tparm() on the terminfo expressions versus the translated termcap
    expressions.
  + modify tic to allow it to read from FIFOs (report by Matthieu Fronton,
    cf: 20120324).
  > patches by Nicolas Boulenguez:
  + explicit dereferences to suppress some style warnings.
  + when c_varargs_to_ada.c includes its header, use double quotes
    instead of <>.
  + samples/ncurses2-util.adb:  removed unused with clause.  The warning
    was removed by an obsolete pragma.
  + replaced Unreferenced pragmas with Warnings (Off).  The latter,
    available with older GNATs, needs no configure test.  This also
    replaces 3 untested Unreferenced pragmas.
  + simplified To_C usage in trace handling.  Using two parameters allows

  Versions of Ncurses Libraries
  =============================

There are several Ncurses Libraries which can be used for building
with an terminal based application.  The standard Ncurses Libraries
is given with ABI 5.9

       /usr/include/ncurses/*.h
       /usr/lib/libncurses.so  or /usr/lib64/libncurses.so
       /usr/lib/libform.so     or /usr/lib64/libform.so
       /usr/lib/libmenu.so     or /usr/lib64/libmenu.so
       /usr/lib/libpanel.so    or /usr/lib64/libpanel.so

and its header are installed in /usr/include/ncurses/ e.g.
ncurses.h.  For backward compatibility with simply older
programs the headers curses.h, ncurses.h, and term.h
will be also found in /usr/include/.  Use the output of

       ncurses5-config --cflags  for CFLAGS
       ncurses5-config --libs    for LDFLAGS

to extend the CFLAGS and the LDFLAGS.
For a version with wide character support please use the
libraries with old ABI 5.9

       /usr/include/ncursesw/*.h
       /usr/lib/libncursesw.so or /usr/lib64/libncursesw.so
       /usr/lib/libformw.so    or /usr/lib64/libformw.so
       /usr/lib/libmenuw.so    or /usr/lib64/libmenuw.so
       /usr/lib/libpanelw.so   or /usr/lib64/libpanelw.so

Use the output of

       ncursesw5-config --cflags for CFLAGS
       ncursesw5-config --libs   for LDFLAGS

to extend the CFLAGS and the LDFLAGS.
For a thread safe version (also known as `reentrant') please
use the libraries with ABI 6.0

       /usr/include/ncurses6/ncurses/*.h
       /usr/lib/ncurses6/libncurses.so  or /usr/lib64/ncurses6/libncurses.so
       /usr/lib/ncurses6/libform.so     or /usr/lib64/ncurses6/libform.so
       /usr/lib/ncurses6/libmenu.so     or /usr/lib64/ncurses6/libmenu.so
       /usr/lib/ncurses6/libpanel.so    or /usr/lib64/ncurses6/libpanel.so

together with the header files found at /usr/include/ncurses6/ncurses/
e.g. ncurses.h. For backward compatibility with simply older programs
the headers curses.h, ncurses.h, and term.h will be also found in
/usr/include/ncurses6/.  Use the output of

       ncurses6-config --cflags  for CFLAGS
       ncurses6-config --libs    for LDFLAGS

to extend the CFLAGS and the LDFLAGS.
For a version with both wide character support and thread safe
please use the libraries with ABI 6.0

       /usr/include/ncurses6/ncursesw/*.h
       /usr/lib/ncurses6/libncursesw.so or /usr/lib64/ncurses6/libncursesw.so
       /usr/lib/ncurses6/libformw.so    or /usr/lib64/ncurses6/libformw.so
       /usr/lib/ncurses6/libmenuw.so    or /usr/lib64/ncurses6/libmenuw.so
       /usr/lib/ncurses6/libpanelw.so   or /usr/lib64/ncurses6/libpanelw.so

Use the output of

       ncursesw6-config --cflags for CFLAGS
       ncursesw6-config --libs   for LDFLAGS

to extend the CFLAGS and the LDFLAGS. It should be noted that the ABI 6.0
is not only thread safe but also includes extended mouse support and in
case of the wide character version also extended color support.
