Problem: In trying to link "sc" (posted recently to comp.sources.unix)
	I got the following unknown symbols:

stdscr wmove, wclrtoeol, wclrtobot, wstandout, wstandend
waddstr, clearok, wclear, wgetch, mvprintw

	These are all nice standard curses things.  Grepping
	in /lib/shlib.ifile I find that those guys aren't
	listed in there.  These guys *are* in /usr/lib/libcurses.a,
	but if I include this in the linking I get lots and lots
	of redefined symbols.  If I do something else, namely
	extract the following files from libcurses.a:

move.o, cleartoeol.o, clrtobot.o, standout.o, addstr.o, clearok.o
clear.o, getch.o, mvprintw.o

	I get other undefined symbols.  I'm sure if I iterate 
	through this some more I'll end up snarfing up
	all of libcurses.a... sigh.

Diagnosis: Well, obviously shlib doesn't have everything...

Fix:	I've got lots of suggestions:

	1. Split shlib out into a number of libraries, shcurses,
	   shc, shm, etc.
	2. Set things up like on SysVr3 with -lc_s and friends.
	3. Put *all* of libcurses.a into shlib.

Any other suggestions?
