OK, so there are two issues here, which may be related. First, ncursesw 
wants to install files whose names differ only in case, which doesn't 
work on case-insensitive filesystems. This is an upstream problem.

Second, MacPorts "forgets" that all but one of these files was installed 
by ncursesw, and hence doesn't remove it upon the port's deactivation.

We definitely want to fix that second problem. However, I did some 
googling just now, and it may be possible to work around both issues by 
using the --with-hashed-db configure option. This uses Berkeley DB for 
the terminfo database instead of separate files.
