   I am interested in building a shared library for curses.  Even 
getting initscr() and endwin() and related functions into a shared 
library should help considerably considering the output size of the
following program.

/* w.c */
#include <curses.h>
main() { initscr(); endwin(); }

$cc -s w.c -o w -lcurses; ls -l w

    I would really like to see a "specfil" suitable for mkshlib(1).
It would be wonderful if it involved curses, but ANY "specfil" would
be helpful.  Any experiences along this line would also help.

thanks,
