 Subject: [arch-general] package ncurses lacks c++ support

 In core/ncurses, we have c++ wrapper header files like cursesw.h, but the 
 corresponding library was not included.
 Actually, gnu ncurses itself only builds a static libncurses++.a.
 Is there any need to do some extra work to add a libncurses++.so to the 
 package?

I'm not sure how to build that one shared, file a bug report. We ship the 
pkg-config file, so we need to ship the library, too, in one form or another.
