That would have zero effect, because the package appends another
'--with-curses=' argument, and I believe the last one wins.

Try

	USE_NCURSES=YES	make

USE_NCURSES isn't really a user knob, it just happens to work here.
Better, would be set it conditionally on MUTT_USE_NCURSES in the mutt
"Makefile", assuming there's a reason anyone would want to do that.
What functionality does ncurses provide that NetBSD 1.5.3 curses does
not?
