This library is usually called libtinfo, and several GNU/Linux distributions are using this option; Fedora since Version 7 (May 2007), Ubuntu since version 11.10 (to be released tomorrow) and Debian in testing/unstable for two weeks. If ncurses is built this way, Emacs only needs symbols from libtinfo, but with the current `configure' script links against libncurses unnecessarily. It would be nice if `configure' were looking for libtinfo and prefer to use -ltinfo over -lncurses.
