In the scenario of normal and wide curses coexisting,
one wants to "overwrite" headers, but not library, when instaling wide,
and to "overwrite" library, but not headers (really - not install them) for 
normal.

Did you have in mind that coexistence when designing installation process 
or the whole idea of having two versions at the same time is not 
considered kosher by you?

If yes - some options to disable insallation of headers and mans,
 to control _separately_ "overwriting" of libraries and headers _may be_
 welcome (but not necessary, of course).
