Builds OK from inside clean install. Which is all I needed this far. Thank you.

 OK, building ports against a clean installation of 13.0-ALPHA2 has no problem with ncurses. 
But devel/glib20 fails for no obvious reason closer to the end of building process... I just wonder: do I need to report this to port maintainers or wait till it settles up  somehow? A good deal of ports depend  on it.

 Hi everyone,I don't seem to find any mentioning in the /usr/ports/UPDATING about how one should handle the removal of libncurses.so.9 from base. 
Source UPDATING only says:ncurses installation has been modified to only keep the widechar
        enabled version.  Incremental build is broken for that change, so it
        requires a clean build.
If that means to just build all ports anew, then it doesn't work as ports don't seem to incorporate any change related to this one. It would seem default configuration should take into account this, but it doesn't.

The ports just use --with-libncurses-prefix=/usr, and there is no ncurses libs found there. This make it skip MOST of the ports I'm using.
