Summary:                    Ncurses lacks wide character support
Description: 
Just wanted to build nano 2.0.9 against ncurses and using mGARv2

  ./configure $(DIRPATHS) --enable-all 

complains:

configure: WARNING:
*** Insufficient UTF-8 support was detected in your curses and/or C
*** libraries.  If you want UTF-8 support, please verify that your slang
*** was built with UTF-8 support or your curses was built with wide
*** character support, and that your C library was built with wide
*** character support.

>From having a look at the ncurses README --enable-widec does seem to
contain some caveats. Filing this as a feature request.
