merge libcurses and libterminfo?

[staalmannen]

Is there a point to keep them separate?
If they were merged a lot of things would build without manual intervention.

[rofl0r]

it would be a non-issue if build-systems just used pkg-config --libs curses.

but maybe it could improve things to indeed merge the 2, albeit optionally.
can you propose a PR that uses a make switch that defaults to build libterminfo separately, like make USE_TERMINFO=0 ?

The pull request optionally merges terminfo objects into libcurses with the make option MERGE_TERMINFO=1
