Well, turns out you don't need the run_tic stuff from my message,
as the maintainer incorporated it into his newest patch.

You might want to read ftp://invisible-island.net/ncurses/5.3/README
and cruise through the ncurses mailing list archives a bit for culture.

Then grab his latest rollup patch and apply it to a clean ncurses-5.3 tree.

Here's a quickie update of the script I posted reflecting the above.
I haven't tested it, but it oughtta be close.
