Well, at least two out of three are applicable for FC1.  The FC1 script only 
needs to do this:

CPPFLAGS="-I /usr/include/ncursesw"
export CPPFLAGS

That's it.  Fedora Core 1 puts narrowchar includes in /usr/include/ncurses, 
widechar includes in /usr/include/ncursesw, symlinks curses.h and ncurses.h 
to ncurses/curses.h, and puts both libraries in /usr/lib.

I don't know if I should start assuming where things live.  Someone might 
decide to build a widechar-only curses, and put it in /usr/include.  I think 
it's much safer to stick to the compiler defaults and let people specify the 
directories themselves.
