>Description:
When trying to use something that uses the KEY_ macros like nstti, it won't work.

There are ifdefs in the code because I imagine the curses that's in the base system doesn't have those macros.  
However the pkg is designed to use ncurses which does have the macros.

Time to remove the preprocessor macros.
