It won't be a `port' in the usual sense, it should be an update of the existing src/lib/libcurses library... ... which is kind of scary to do, among other things because our src tree is not really clean, and it's hard to figure out what is `mainstream' curses versus what is `openbsd tweaks to' curses. so, yeah, it's stuff that needs to be done... very carefully.
