I wonder what the Right Thing is.  The =E2=80=98ncurses=E2=80=99 package ex=
plicitly
passes --includedir=3D$out/include because that=E2=80=99s what all the pack=
ages we
have so far expect.

If it turns out that a non-negligible number of packages expect headers
to be under $out/include/ncursesw, then I agree that we should make a
symlink.

In the meantime, since ncurses is a core package, could you just patch
gtypist (in a =E2=80=98snippet=E2=80=99) to use the right headers?

(BTW, make sure to add a copyright line for you in the package.)

Thanks in advance!
