  Finding ncurses in pkgsrc.  I'm not perfectly happy that it's hard-coded to 
  look in /usr/pkg, though.  I suppose looking in /etc/mk.conf for the base 
  pkgsrc directlry after checking /usr/pkg would be better, or some other 
  means of determining where the pkgsrc base directory is on a given system.

  Owl requires terminfo.  Terminfo is part of ncurses.  If ncurses isn't 
  installed before configure for owl runs, then the configure bails when it 
  can't find terminfo.

  Main issue seems to be the lack of terminfo.
