Features like automatic resizing inside of a terminal don't work as a consequence. This is likely to be a more general problem. Follow-ups:

* fix these apps to link against ncurses
* figure out how to audit for this kind of stuff
* as we try to sort our own automation solutions for userland, try to get dependency analysis and templating resolved (e.g. capture dependencies at a binary/shared object object rather than just a package level, and, class packages with something like a curses dependency as belonging to a terminal template, and use template-based configure options so that ncurses support is bog-standard as opposed to something that needs tweaking per app)
