Isn't it what already happened without my help? But you are probably right :)

Now,and regarding Chris (possible valid) concerns,can you tell us exactly how
extra space will take a UTF-8 enabled book,and the extra amount of memory 
Ncurses
will need?
Have you that info please?
On-disk size with "-Os -s" in CFLAGS:

"fold" without UTF-8 support: 13292 bytes
"fold" with UTF-8 support: 15260 bytes
libncurses.so.5.5: 239967 bytes
libncursesw.so.5.5: 272455 bytes

Runtime:

Process 22795 is alsamixer linked against ncurses, 25307 is alsamixer linked against ncursesw.

 PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
22795 patrakov  18   0  4984 1492 1140 S  0.0  0.3   0:00.02 alsamixer
25307 patrakov  18   0  5144 1632 1164 S  0.0  0.3   0:00.02 alsamixer

with alsamixer, all the size difference is due to libncursesw itself. A "skewed" test would be Mutt, because, unlike alsamixer, it checks for extra features provided by ncursesw and adds its own extra code if ncursesw is found.
