I fixed this problem in devel/test.  Please feel free to test it some 
more and try to break it if you can.  If you break it please try to find 
a repeatable way to break it, then come to me, and I'll see what I can 
do.  It was a really really small fix having to do with the fact that 
the install process runs ncurses-related stuff itself, so an abi change 
had caused a problem with tic.  The "safety" "make install" to a 
temporary lib location to make sure utf upgrade fixes and downgrades 
aren't broken is now just "make install.libs".  Now the spell should be 
able to go in and out of utf, up and down versions, and with and without 
various bindings, just fine, in theory.
