ok. the pr stays in patched state. right now the patch is in HEAD, 8-STABLE
and 8.0-RELEASE. rafan is thinking about mfc'ing the patch to 6-stable and
7-stable. however if somebody is willing to modify the patch so it applies =
to
those branches that'll be great

my thoughts exactly. ncurses in the base dir is quite up to date. however i
personally think that other contributed software should really be updated
(binutils e.g.). but that's another story. ;)
