 You can't compile licq-gui-console without ncurses nowadays, because
 it uses devel/cdk. The makefile of the latter says it uses ncurses
 internals, and sure enough, trying to build *that* without ncurses
 bombs right away, dereferencing pointers to incomplete types.
 
 Trying to build licq with native curses while also using cdk with
 ncurses will never work properly, even if it compiled, which it
 doesn't.
 
 So I think this PR has become futile... is there any reason to keep it
 open?
