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?
> 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.
