Chuck,

A few issues with ncurses-config:

1) The fact that there have been several (Cygwin-specific) ABI bumps to 
libncurses during the 5.x cycle (now at 9) doesn't change the fact that 
the API is still version 5, and other packages look for the script to be 
named ncurses5-config.

2) ncurses5-config should be part of the libncurses-devel package.

Thanks,


Yaakov
