Hello

I have a small suggestion regarding the ncurses configure script.

On *-gnu systems it would be nice to have libtool and shared libraries
enabled by default.

They should work there, if not on other platforms.  It would make the
installation consistent with other GNU packages.

(I encountered this installing the latest versions of all GNU software
on fencepost.gnu.org.  If only the static libncurses.a library is
installed, other packages find it in their ./configure --- giving the
appearance of success --- but then fail to link at the end of the
build when they need libncurses.so.)
