- Add ncurses patch 20220729
+ fixes to build with dietlibc:
+ add configure check for fpathconf (report by Georg Lehner).
+ add configure check for math sine/cosine, needed in test/tclock,
and eliminate pow() from test/hanoi (report by Georg Lehner).
+ use wcsnlen as an alternative to wmemchr if it is not found
(adapted from patch by Georg Lehner).

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.
