I have talked about this issue with Fedora ncurses maintainer, but
our decision was keep it in /usr... maybe we can move the library too.

Yes, I understand. Well, let use the wide version -- the ideal
solution will be check for the library in /lib only.
What about to disable locale for systems without the wide version?
#ifdef HAVE_NCURSESW
setlocale(LC_ALL, "");
bindtextdomain(PACKAGE, LOCALEDIR);
textdomain(PACKAGE);
#endif
