Looking at the amount of dupes we got so far, wouldn't it be wise to have the
ebuild at least give a warning that you need ncurses with USE=unicode?

Good idea. Error message (no warning, since it's just going to fail later
anyway) added.

Probably wasn't the best idea to only add the error message to the latest
version. Added to the other two versions too now, hopefully others won't have
problems with this from now on.
