No subject

with libncursesw, but I think those could be resolved.

python + python3 pick up libncursesw if they find it, but they could be
configured to take libncurses
no idea about impact on other libs, hence this RFC

in the openwrt/packages folder there are only these libs that reference
libncurses:
- deve/gdb
- utils/util-linux
- network/utils/iftop
- network/services/samba36

libncursesw is slightly fatter (360 kb) than libncurses (295 kb)
Having both installed on a device seems redundant, even though together the
bloat is not too big.

So, then, what would be some opinions/prefs ?

Thanks
Alex
