I tried to rebuild ucblogo to use ncurses and not termcap, and got a link error specific to the ncurses in devel. I found out that I needed to link with cursesw instead of curses (support for wide characters). This is because "ncurses/ncurses.h" pulls in "ncursesw/ncurses_dll.h" instead of just "ncurses/ncurses_dll.h" as it does on FC6. The ncursesw version adds a symbol "ospeed" absent from libcurses but present in libcursesw?
Is this a bug, or is there a rationale behind?

ncursesw headers are compatible with ncurses headers, only ncursesw headers are installed now.

Symbol ospeed is in libtinfo and libncurse depend on this library, so that shouldn't be the problem. libncursesw have it's own libtinfo included as there is an issue that needs to be resolved before both libraries can use the same libtinfo.
Is this a bug, or is there a rationale behind?
ucblogo needs a bit of patching, term.c declares ospeed as short, but it should be unsigned int.
