<listitem>
<para>This tells Ncurses to install its header files into

successfully.</para>

<listitem>
<para>This switch causes wide-character libraries (e.g., <filename

to be built instead of normal ones (e.g., <filename

These wide-character libraries are usable in both multibyte and
traditional 8-bit locales, while normal libraries work properly
only in 8-bit locales. Wide-character and normal libraries are
source-compatible, but not binary-compatible.</para>
