+    --disable-tic-depends
+	When building shared libraries, normally the tic library is linked to
+	depend upon the ncurses library (and in turn, on the term-library if
+	the --with-termlib option was given).  The tic- and term-libraries
+	ABI does not depend on the --enable-widec option. Some packagers have
+	used this to reduce the number of library files which are packaged
+	by using only one copy of those libraries.  To make this work properly,
+	the tic library must be built without an explicit dependency on the
+	ncurses (or ncursesw) library.  Use this configure option to do that.
+	For example
+		configure --with-ticlib --with-shared --disable-tic-depends

     --disable-tparm-varargs
