16 Then, I don't quite see the principal problem with configuring to /
17 usr/lib, moving lib{,n}curses{,w} (plus some $(get_libname) trickery)
18 to /lib and gen_usr_ldscript() the moved libraries. Since
19 gen_usr_ldscript() creates symlinks or wrappers in /usr/lib and not /
20 lib, above seems easier to me than doing it the other way around?
