Failure to build emulators/qemu 2.8.0nb1 - curses dependency?

[Paul Goyette <paul%whooppee.com@localhost>]

The package is being build with default options, as shown in the 
"pre-amble":


==========================================================================
The supported build options for qemu are:

        ivshmem sdl

The currently selected options are:

        ivshmem sdl

You can select which build options to use by setting PKG_DEFAULT_OPTIONS
or the following variable.  Its current value is shown:

        PKG_OPTIONS.qemu (not defined)

==========================================================================
==========================================================================
The following variables will affect the build process of this package,
qemu-2.8.0nb1.  Their current value is shown below:

        * CURSES_DEFAULT = curses
        * PYTHON_VERSION_DEFAULT = 27

Based on these variables, the following variables have been set:

        * CURSES_TYPE = curses
        * PYPACKAGE = python27

You may want to abort the process now with CTRL-C and change their value
before continuing.  Be sure to run `/usr/bin/make clean' after
the changes.
==========================================================================

The build proceeds, and seems to find all required dependencies:
