yes (though it's not necessary: the --disable-overwrite option tells
the configure script to put the ncursesw's header files in a
subdirectory).

not on Linux (gcc looks in /usr/local/lib).

you'll need the header files also (which are installed in the
"make install.libs" step). I did assume you'd want shared libraries.

configure --with-screen=ncursesw
That's all that would be needed until they add their own package (then
you'd have to decide whether to keep both flavors or relink to use
theirs).

I install my development version of ncursesw in /usr/local/lib, and
my development version of ncurses in /usr/local/ncurses/lib. (Both
are static libraries, to make it possible to avoid conflicts with Debian's
shared libraries).
