704	Ncurses vsscanf patch unnecessary	greg@…	lfs-book@…	"This patch would appear to be unnecessary. I recall it coming up around the time
of plfs integration to apparently silence some warnings. It is part of the
ncurses c++ binding which is not that widely used AFAICT. Using
""--enable-warnings"" for ncurses doesn't enable any warnings for the c++
directory. I therefore manually added ""-Wall"" to the c++ Makefile. There are no
warnings with and without the patch for cursesw.cc. This patch is not part of
upstream ncurses dev which is updated approx' once a week. In short, there is no
rationale for this patch. Unless a c++ programmer can explain in detail why this
patch is needed, I recommend it be dropped soon after 5.0 release."	defect	closed	normal		Book	CVS	normal	fixed
