Crunched binaries don't use whole libraries either. The many .o
files just get linked with libraries the usual way. (Unrelated,
but I thought I'd mention this anyway...)

OK, you made a decision. :-)
But then perhaps you can tell me where the APIs for libcurses,
libmytinfo, libtermcap, libtermlib, and libtinfo are documented,
so one can decide which pseudo-library to link against in our
case of libncurses? If you happen to know... Because I read
README and it says it implements the System V curses API with
some extensions, and it doesn't mention any of the above libs.
Cheers,
