not a bad idea... but in the specific case of joe, it's not
applicable/useful to do so. It doesnt help the core objection of,
"this is useless bloat for joe".

Unless you are suggesting that the ncurses terminfo is actually OPTIONAL.
(i thougth it was mandatory, or the ncurses libs dont work right. i
vaguely recall running into
 that problem previously)

but even if it IS... even so, the raw ncurses library file, is larger
than the joe executable itself.

-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     bin       417312 May 27  2005 /opt/csw/bin/joe

-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     bin       648252 Apr  5  2009 /opt/csw/lib/libncurses.so


So, still not appropriate, even without the extra bulk of the terminfo defs.
