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.

- Add ncurses patch 5.9.20130112
  + correct prototype in manpage for vid_puts.
  + drop ncurses/tty/tty_display.h, ncurses/tty/tty_input.h, since they
    are unused in the current driver model.
  + modify mvcur to use stdout except when called within the ncurses
    library.
  + modify vidattr and vid_attr to use stdout as documented in manpage.
  + amend changes made to buffering in 20120825 so that the low-level
    putp() call uses stdout rather than ncurses' internal buffering.
    The putp_sp() call does the same, for consistency (Redhat #892674).
- Add ncurses patch 5.9.20130105
  + add "-s" option to test/view.c to allow it to start in single-step
    mode, reducing size of trace files when it is used for debugging
    MinGW changes.
  + revert part of 20121222 change to tinfo_driver.c
  + add experimental logic in win_driver.c to improve optimization of
    screen updates.  This does not yet work with double-width characters,
    so it is ifdef'd out for the moment (prompted by report by Erwin
    Waterlander regarding screen flicker).
- Add ncurses patch 5.9.20121229
  + fix coverity warnings regarding copying into fixed-size buffers.
  + add throw-declarations in the c++ binding per Coverity warning.
  + minor changes to new-items for consistent reference to bug-report
    numbers.
- Add ncurses patch 5.9.20121222
  + add *.dSYM directories to clean-rule in ncurses directory makefile,
    for Mac OS builds.
  + add a configure check for gcc option -no-cpp-precomp, which is not
    available in all Mac OS X configurations (report by Andras Salamon,
    cf: 20011208).

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.
