FYI: ncurses now supports MinGW

I just noticed that starting from version 5.9 ncurses supports MinGW.

The port is not yet 100%, here's a TODO list from README.MinGW:

A lot is still TODO, e.g.:

  - Wide Character support
    The Win32Con driver should actually only use Unicode in the
    future.
  - Thread support (locking). If using TDM toolchain this is done by
    configuring pthreads.
  - A GUI console driver
  - Support for Terminals attached via a serial port (via terminfo)
  - Support for networked Terminal connections (via terminfo)
  - Workarounds for MinGW's filesystem access are necessary to make infocmp
    work (though tic works)
