I would like to, it seems working well in SHR, only needs few PR bumps
(as lot of stuff was linked agains ncurses package and now it's splitted
to libncurses5 etc. And ie mc is now linked only to libtinfo.

Enrico did good jub with 5.7, if someone sends patch with PR bumps
(again) and drops D_P = -1 or even removal of 5.4 I'll definetely ACK
it.
