I think the configure script should be modified - not just NetBSD support.
But it does get complicated.  The script that I wrote for lynx defaults
to "curses" (which in this case would pick up the NetBSD curses), and
allows "ncurses" as an option.  Mutt's configure script tries to find
ncurses, but may be relying on a bias toward ncurses rather than making
it explicitly an option.
