Well, that is a start, but I don't think it will be sufficient. In the past
when I have compiled up a pic version of ncurses, compled up a basic curses
installer app and reduced it, libncurses did not reduce well at all. I can't
recall the numbers off the top of my head, but I seem to recall the difference
between reduced libncurses and reduced slang being like 100-200k...
It is worth a test I suppose. I'd be glad to be proven wrong/forgetful,
