They should be forms from the ncurses forms library wrapped by a glue
code to access them from ruby.

The forms wrapper is a thirs-party contribution and I know next to
nothing about forms, so I cannot decide whether the inability to input
these characters (which are generally permitted by the locale) is due to
an error in the forms library itself, due to an error in the wrapper, or
due to an error in the program that uses the wrapper.

I am _not_ going to investigate this forms issue further since I don't
believe there is a single user of this feature in ncurses-ruby.

This bug is about linking against libncursesw instead of libncurses. I
do see what this switch would buy us.
