 For my use case of the most recent NetBSD OS version possible, NetBSD
 7.99.21 amd64 with X11_TYPE=modular, I have found the latest cmake
 patches to be a complete blessing.  I am now able to do without pkgsrc
 ncurses on DragonFly, FreeBSD, and recent NetBSD systems as described
 above.  The systems will therefore not suffer the catastrophe of
 pkgsrc ncurses later being picked up by packages such as
 gettext-tools, and therefore will not suffer the threat of instantly
 breaking many other packages.  Thank you.
