Hi,

Is there a particular reason that src/lib/libncurses/Makefile does
not tell ncurses that FreeBSD's compiler honors 'const'?

The attached patch allows all programs including <curses.h> or
<ncurses.h> and using *printw() to compile with WARNS=2.
A similar patch applies to RELENG_4.

There might be some header dependency bogosities that would require
that the /usr/obj tree be cleaned before the libncurses recompile,
but such is life..

G'luck,
Peter
