Merging ncurses and ncursesw
I've fallen down the rabbit hole while investigating the python311 vs
ncurses fallout, and found a huge mess. I'm in the process of cleaning
it all up, but there is one thing I'd like to propose separately.
I don't think it makes any sense to continue with the split packages of
devel/ncurses and devel/ncursesw. As far as I can see we are alone in
doing this amongst packaging systems, and it just causes problems.
Much of the cruft in devel/ncurses{,w}/builtin.mk that I am cleaning up
was moved over 10 years ago now to mk/curses.*, and while having a split
may have made sense back in 2006, I see no reason for it now.
Please let me know if there is something I'm missing.
Thanks,
