 Known Problems:
 

-* XPG4 specifies that the enhanced features are not available unless the
-  _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED test macro is defined by the application.  Ncurses uses
-  this macro (incorrectly) to address a dependency upon wchar_t.  The functions
-  which use wchar_t are not implemented, so the effect of the test macro is
-  pointless.
+* GNAT does not put libraries in the correct order, so a build only links
+  properly if you use shared libraries since -lncurses is first.

 
 * The screen optimization has been tested only in an ad hoc manner.  We should
   develop a good set of regression tests to cover lib_doupdate.c and
