I looked into it and finally rebuilt the package --with-curses ncursesw

And *tada* the ACS lines are drawn properly. It doesn't appear to break anything else as far as I can tell.

I'd like to see with ncursesw as well. I don't see it breaking anything else. I mean, who uses terms that can't draw those characters these days...

Actually, I really want to know if we could just make the ncursesw -> ncurses move and drop support for non-utf8 curses altogether. /me must research
