Not to take anything away from your version.  I am not familiar with it.
(So much software...so little time.)  The standard VIM 5.6 built on my
machine this morning without ncurses or terminfo.  Looking at config.cache
it was happy with termios.h and termcap.

Nano will not build w/o curses.  It was my first thought for an
Idiot's-Guide-to-Small-Editors candidate.  However ncurses and slang take it
right out of the small category.
