    pkgbase: move ncurses into its own package
    
    Pushing ncurses into clibs adds extra upgrade risk to a package that
    otherwise consists of integral libs with non-trivial interdependencies.
    
    Adding it to -runtime was considered, but the move was historically
    motivated to some extent by allowing a much smaller set of base libs to
    be installed for smaller VM images that don't really need all of the
    runtime package.
    
    This also fixes the ncurses build to ensure that libmenuw is grouped
    with the rest of the ncurses libraries, which doesn't seem to have been
    an intentional omission.

+comment = "ncurses terminal control library"
+desc = <<EOD
+The ncurses package is a subroutine library for terminal-independent
+screen-painting and input-event handling which presents a high level screen
+model to the programmer.  ncurses implements the System V Release 4.0 (SVR4)
+curses interface, and is also backward compatible with traditional BSD curses.
+
+This package ships with a limited termcap database, but it is designed to use
+a terminfo database provided by ports, such as in misc/terminfo-db.
+EOD
