17 that doesnt make any sense. both ncurses and slang work just fine with and
18 without unicode. i dont think he was asking about Gentoo anyways ... he was
19 asking about upstream mc.

21 the proper string under Gentoo would be:
22 ncurses? (
23 unicode? ( sys-libs/ncurses[unicode] )
24 !unicode? ( sys-libs/ncurses )
25 )
26 !ncurses? ( slang? ( >=sys-libs/slang-2.1.3 ) )
27 -mike
