Severity: wishlist
It is possible to build a separate terminfo library from the ncurses
sources by configuring ncurses with the "--with-termlib" option. This
library is usually called libtinfo, and several GNU/Linux distributions
are using this option; Fedora since Version 7 (May 2007), Ubuntu since
version 11.10 (to be released tomorrow) and Debian in testing/unstable
for two weeks.
If ncurses is built this way, Emacs only needs symbols from libtinfo,
but with the current `configure' script links against libncurses
unnecessarily. It would be nice if `configure' were looking for
libtinfo and prefer to use -ltinfo over -lncurses.
