Thank you ever so much, Arkadiusz.  I was able to successfully build
screen-4.6.2
by applying patches from pkgsrc/misc/screen/patches.  However, I can't get the
configure script to find libncursesw.  I have tried setting various environment
variables before running configure, but either gcc compile test fails, or still
-lcurses is in the LIBS in Makefile.

Do you have suggestions for using ncursesw rather than plain curses?

TIA
