I'm writing an application using ncurses 5.4 on an Ubuntu breezy box, which
has utf-8 as its default encoding. The application uses utf-8 internally. How
do I tell ncurses to use utf-8, and can I draw borders with Unicode
characters?

The ncurses test program (see the sources test/ncurses.c) uses setlocale()
and when ncurses is configured using --enable-widec, provides examples in
ncurses.c for line-drawing, etc., in menu F.
