According to "make show-all-curses", the variable USE_NCURSES is a
system-provided variable, it should not be set by a package.

mk/curses.buildlink3.mk says:
# If a package genuinely requires ncurses or pdcurses, then it should
# directly include the appropriate buildlink3.mk instead of this file in
# the package Makefile.

Too bad that pkglint doesn't complain about anything. I thought it would
evaluate the _VARGROUPS sections in the infrastructure files. :-/
