We try to rewrote code in universal manner, but old curses code in wineconsole had many hacks and we are changed some parts anywhere. I need to accept this patch for detecting ncursesw. Then we can send next patches for unicoding.
Your patch introduces a lot of #ifdef's, that's not something to be easily accepted. According to the info I quoted an old code is source compatible with ncursesw, so you shouldn't need #ifdefs at all, at least in theory.
I do not know about function redefining, there are incompatible function's arguments (cchar_t vs wchar_t) and it needs various code...
Then existing code needs to be fixed to be compatible with old and new (redefined) interfaces.
As I see we need use libncursesw as the main curses library, and have old curses support for compatibility with some old systems.
That's why fixing existing code is preferred to changing it and potentially breaking compatibility with normal ncurses. -- Dmitry.
