Don't run dt or X with this kernel.  Bad Things will happen.  Get the
latest changes to grf.c, grf_mv.c, etc. from the source directory.

You need to install new headers, build and install libkvm, and then
build ps.

This was discussed on current-users.  If you're trying to keep up with
-current or build current sources, you should be on this list.  There
are a few other "gotchas."  In this case, compiling and installing
libcurses will work.

If you're doing a "make build," no.  You can just do "make" and it will
compile everything in order, but that's probably not what you want.  I
usually make a backup of the Makefile and change it to meet my needs.
If I've already done the cleandir and a library build dies, take out the
cleandir step and the depend step, etc...  If you do this, BE CAREFUL
and always try a clean build before reporting problems.
