Hi Bruce and -toolchain@!
	Are there any pitfalls foreseen with replacing LIBCURSES with =
LIBNCURSES and removing LIBCURSES from bsd.libnames.mk?
	While investigating "make checkdpadd=94 errors for PR 192762 ( =
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D192762 ), I noticed =
that some of the Makefiles referenced LIBCURSES* while the bulk majority =
referenced LIBNCURSES*. libcurses* is symlinked to libncurses* though:

# ls -l /usr/lib/libcurses*
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  12 Aug 16 19:08 /usr/lib/libcurses.a -> =
libncurses.a
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  13 Aug 16 19:08 /usr/lib/libcurses.so -> =
libncurses.so
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  13 Aug 16 19:08 /usr/lib/libcursesw.a -> =
libncursesw.a
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  14 Aug 16 19:08 /usr/lib/libcursesw.so -> =
libncursesw.so

	I don=92t have a full history for why there=92s a discrepancy =
between the two because it predates me (I assume it has to deal with =
moving from BSD curses to ncurses though...), but LIBCURSES has been =
around for quite a while ( =
http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/share/mk/bsd.prog.mk?annotate=3D1639&p=
athrev=3D18052 ).
Thanks!
-Garrett
