expense of causing problems due to pkgsrc infrastructure not hiding a base
curses well enough.
We now search in the following order:
ncursesw, curses, ncurses.
With cmake under pkgsrc, it will search your /usr/lib, so I don't have a
way to hide a base curses if requested to do so.
if you're trying to use pkgsrc ncurses and have a base curses, this
will use your base curses.
bump pkgrevision.
Note that if the perl option is used, weechat segfaults at exit.
Not sure the wide-curses option does anything.
Remove conflicting patches that don't seem necessary.

Option to check license of scripts loaded
Completion for /set and /help commands
