Yes, wrapping fails for many cases. It has advantages when we can
make it work though.
Wrapping probably isn't the right thing to do in general. In fact
I suspect it's the wrong thing to do for the general fixincludes/fixinc
scripts since they are designed to work on many systems and those
systems are the ones most likely to need additional curses.h fixing.
