+# Force building separate tinfo to maintain stable library API.  This
+# is backwards-compatible with packages linked to -lncurses, so neither
+# installed packages nor pre-built software should be negatively
+# affected.  On the other hand, disabling USE=tinfo is capable of
+# breaking installed packages.
