Well, actually the terminfo database is about 1M unpacked, or about 1/3 
of the total (due to the large number of small files, and large number 
of directories, usage is highly file-system dependent).  On the next 
release of ncurses, I plan to split the libs/exe's and the terminfo 
database into two separate packages.  I haven't decided what to do about 
the -src.tar.bz2 package for the terminfo-database part.

The goal here is to make it easier to update the database without 
forcing everybody to download the whole ncurses package...

Don't hold yer breath tho -- this is a round tuit problem.  (It'll 
happen when I get 'round tuit).
