The "unwrap" step is supposed to replace "-lncurses" with the real
library options, e.g. -lcurses on netbsd-2 or netbsd-3.  Try looking
at UNWRAP_PATTERNS and UNWRAP_FILES in mk/wrapper/bsd.wrapper.mk (sorry
for the lack of documentation!).  By default, the wrapper framework
knows to unwrap *-config, *Conf.sh, and *.pc files.
