The ncurses software includes a SVr4 and XSI-Curses compatible
curses library as well as terminfo tools including "tic", "infocmp",
and "captoinfo". The library is used by other programs for text-mode
support of color, multiple highlights, forms-drawing characters,
automatic recognition of keypad and function-key sequences, and
more.
The ncurses library uses a terminfo database (included), but can
be configured to use BSD's /etc/termcap file instead. This has
been approved by the old 4.4BSD curses maintainer as the official
4.4BSD curses successor.

- Make post-install tic(1) happy when there are too many terminfo files
installed, e.g. installed by other ports

- Update to 5.6 snapshot 20080329
- Really fix build when WRKDIRPREFIX [1]
I don't know why the current approach works in my previous test. Now
really fix the build by changing to .CURDIR (where the port lives).
Note that I use .CURDIR instead of PORTSDIR/PKGORIGIN as the port may
live outside somewhere else.
- Add trailing slash for destination directory

- Make manual pages macros more like what we have in src/lib/ncurses. This
makes easier update in the base system.
- Remove 4.x support in devel/ncurses
