It's possible to force libsmartcols to use pure ascii rather than
UTF8.
The library checks for UTF8, but of course it has no clue about ncurses,
so it's necessary to explicitly call scols_table_enable_ascii().
Fixed.

This seems like overkill, ncurses is necessary only for small subset
of our utils. It would be better to disable ncurses at all (if
widechar expected but ncursesw not available) -- then only a few utils
will be disabled. I'll fix it next week.
Note that I have add --disable-widechar to make it easy to test (and I
found some bugs).
