Build log

1.1_pre14-r3 fails to compile without this patch. My friend also using gentoo says this bug has been around months, and gave me this patch to fix it, which caused it to install flawlessly.

## The error see attached file for full log

/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.9.3/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: top.o: undefined reference 
to symbol 'wtimeout'
/lib64/libtinfo.so.6: error adding symbols: DSO missing from command line

## The patch. Will be attached to next message

Patch to fix build

That's not the correct way to do it, as now the package suddenly requires USE=tinfo on sys-libs/ncurses.
