I don't know much about ncurses, termcap, terminfo and all that stuff,
but I found that I could compile xemacs-21.1.12 OOTB *without* any
additional ncurses library.  I don't notice any loss of functionality
with 'xemacs -nw'.  (But I hardly ever use it, and possibly not the
same way you do.)  Might be worth a try?

Cheers,
David
