Summary:                    Split off CSWterminfo package?
Description: 
What do you think about wrapping a separate CSWterminfo package for the
terminfo database that comes with CSWncurses? Reason being: the terminfo db
is - even without CSWncurses - usable by the system curses library.
Packages like screen could then depend on CSWterminfo (without pulling in
ncurses) and use its "screen" terminfo description (which isn't present in
the Solaris terminfo db). See
http://www.opencsw.org/mantis/view.php?id=4133#c7860, Phil favours screen w/o a
dependency
on ncurses.

Maciej already adjusted the ncurses GAR build description to do exactly
this a while ago, but I am neither aware about the current state of affairs
nor do I know whether this makes sense to you.
