Yes, libncurses and libncursesw are compiled with different parameters on  
Fedora, as I have seen. libncurses without UTF-8 support. But they share  
headers files.

Now I see, that adding ncursesw option for --with-screen is not needed.  
Only configuration script should detect if ncurses library support UTF-8  
and wide characters.
So I have made new ncurses patch. It prefers ncursesw library if exists  
and show warning, if doesn't find any ncurses supporting UTF-8.

tarballs were updated, all contain new and old version of ncurses patch,  
but not applied.
