>Description:
	installed /usr/pkgsrc/lang/python22-pth... this installs without
curses support.  Installed /usr/pkgsrc/devel/py-curses, but curses.panel
module isn't built there.  Curses and curses.panel appear to be part of
the base install -- would it be possible to enable them in the original
python22-pth build?

Just FYI, this causes a bunch of curses-based python scripts to fail
(BitTorrent being one of them).

>How-To-Repeat:
install python as described above, then invoke python and try to
import curses.panel.

>Fix:
Build curses.panel support into either python22 or py-curses.
