New curses Libraries

Edit Package ncurses

As soon as a text application needs to directly control its output to
the screen (if it wants to place the cursor at location (x,y) then
write text), ncurses is used. The panel and the forms libraries are
included in this package. These new libraries support color, special
characters, and panels.

- Also split libtic into normal and wide version libticw as those
  libraries are linked with libtinfo respectively libtinfow
- The tack tool does require the old _nc_read_entry()

- Add ncurses patch 20170422
  + build-fix for termcap-configuration (report by Chi-Hsuan Yen).
  + improve terminfo manual page discussion of control- and graphics-
    characters.
  + remove tic warning about "^?" in string capabilities, which was
    marked as an extension (cf: 20000610, 20110820); however all Unix
    implementations support this and X/Open Curses does not address it.
    On the other hand, termcap never did support this feature.
  + correct missing comma-separator between string capabilities in
    icl6402 and m2-nam -TD
  + restore rmir/smir in ansi+idc to better match original ansiterm+idc,
    add alias ansiterm (report by Robert King).
  + amend an old check for ambiguous use of "ma" in terminfo versus
    a termcap use, if the capability is cancelled to treat it as number.
  + correct a case in _nc_captoinfo() which read "%%" and emitted "%".
  + modify sscanf calls in _nc_infotocap() for patterns "%{number}%+%c"
    and "%'char'%+%c" to check that the final character is really 'c',
    avoiding a case in icl6404 which cannot be converted to termcap.
  + in _nc_infotocap(), add a check to ensure that terminfo "^?" is not
    written to termcap, because the BSDs did not implement that.
  + in _nc_tic_expand() and _nc_infotocap(), improve string-length check
    when deciding whether to use "^X" or "\xxx" format for control
    characters, to make the output of tic/infocmp more predictable.
  + limit termcap "%d" width to 2 digits on input, and use "%2" in
    preference to "%02" on output.
  + correct terminfo/termcap conversion of "%02" and "%03" into "%2" and

Is it possible to retrigger build and republish all the packages that claim to buildrequire ncurses-devel ? PCRE posix is still infecting a sizeable amount of packages and those will likely crash under some circumstances as they expect regcomp from glibc and not from pcre.
