Hi all,

About two weeks ago, I posted here saying that I'm working on
updating ncurses in the base system to 5.5. After some works
on the building framework, now I have a new version for testing:

http://www.rafan.org/FreeBSD/ncurses/ncurses-5.5-fbsd-7-20060620.tgz
http://www.rafan.org/FreeBSD/ncurses/ncurses-5.5-fbsd-7-20060620-src.diff

You extract the tarball under /usr/src, and apply the diff there, too.
Then following a buildworld/installworld cycle. Everything should be
fine then. I have done a 'make universe' test and use it on my i386 -current.
It works well.

I hope that I can interest some committers to review this and
get it committed soon :-)
