I could easily use PREFER_PKGSRC and not lose my time with packages
like cmake, bothering with patches written without taking into
account other OSes supported by pkgsrc and how the configuration
behaves with them. But you know, it end up working magically with
some distribution (as not having curses.h in centos), so what the
heck...

This is funny, a person losing time trying to fix something that
is _wrong_ becomes a Linux user asking for trouble.

Good attitude, and very encouraging.

adr.
