Do I get it right that I can install with --enable-widec 
--enable-overwrite --enable-termcap and make symlink libncuresew to
libtermcap, libcurses and all other wide libraries to their non-wide names
(and not bother with installing non-wide curses at all) ?

BTW, what is the reason for not making the link libcurses->libncursesw
even if asked for with --enable-overwrite?
Maintaining binary compatibility if _really_ overwriting system libraries?

     Sincerely, Michail
