#####
# ncurses is no longer located where it used to be.
# so instead of ftp'ing the patches, one needs to check out the patched
# snapshots repo and check out the desired patch level.

# Then, the build-installer.py script needs to be modified to contain the
# md5 hash for the tar file created from that repo.
# The script checks the hash to validate the download, then uses the local file
# if the hash matches. Otherwise, it will download again.
