Aye, actually had time to investigate this over the weekend and found
the offending stuff in mutt's configure script - for the use_default_color
checks it only includes curses.h - now on NetBSD this only exists in
/usr/include for system curses library, and the ncurses 5 pkgsrc only
installs /usr/pkg/include/ncurses.h with no symlink back to curses.h

I'm no automake/autoconf expert, so is this a mutt issue where the
configure script should be modified to support NetBSD, or should the
NetBSD pkgsrc DTRT and symlink /usr/pkg/include/curses.h -> ncurses.h ?
