Hi folks,

ncurses in 6.x is pretty old. We have update-to-date ncurses in 7.x
with wide character support now. The patch at

http://people.freebsd.org/~rafan/ncurses/ncursesw-5.6-all-fbsd6-20070310.diff.gz

gives you ncurses 5.6 and wide character support in 6.x. Please
apply with 'patch -p0' under /usr/src.

For more information, please visit

http://people.freebsd.org/~rafan/ncurses/

You can also find individual patches, say ncurses update and wide
character support, there.

Feedbacks and suggestions are welcome.

P.S. Due to some lib32 issues, the patch above contains changes
made by ru@ recently for src/Makefile.inc1.

Regards,
Rong-En Fan
