Actually I'd gotten this wrong: libncursesw is an extra build option to 
libncurses, so you only get it if you explicitly want it. In that case 
though, you specifically DO want your applications to use ncursesw instead 
of regular ncurses.

So regardless of whether you keep libncurses around or not, I think patches 
preferring one or the other should be dropped, right?
