I have a cron entry updating the pkgsrc tree everyt morning.  As I
double checked just now, I have the patches you mentioned.  I see 
those patches, but I didnt see where HAVE_TRUE_NCURSES is
defined, neither as -DHAVE_TRUE_NCURSES nor as defined in
Makefile.  patch-aa adds "ifeq ...", patch-ac adds "#if defined
..."  Am I missing something here?  

I have the pkgsrc/mk directory last updated on Nov 3.  And I did
make any changes to misc/dialog except
adding "HAVE_TRUE_NCURSES=true" manually in work directory to make
it compile.
