Re: location of the new ncurses


Jong,
    they are there by intent. Use the setup.exe tool and you have no
maintenance to perform. (other than deleting old files if you are short
on disk space but don't want to delete the entire archive).

For reasoning on the location see the archives of cygwin-apps and
cygwin-developers.
