Incidentally, this may (or may not) be wrong.  I missed them because
I forgot about the lib*ncurses* packages, and my search didn't catch

accident, and I don't have handy a very recent distro against which to
check.

No problem.  Been there... was bitten by this more than once.  [I've
been building Mutt with UTF-8 support for just about as long as that
has been possible in Linux.]  =8^)
