Hi,
  why does dosemu depend on slang? Slang as far as I remember was introduced
with midnight commander as a tiny curses library for people who did not have a
newer curses library, like ncurses. ncurses is the default on gentoo, so why do
you force people to install the slang crap? ncurses is a way better. Does not
dosemu build without slang? Really?

Reproducible: Always

It really uses slang. You can compile it without, but then you won't be able to  
use dosemu on the console without being root.  
There is no configure-switch for this, so it can't be use-flagged.
