Makefile: use libncurses instead of libncursesw on Darwin
=========================================================

macOS 10.12.4 and many earlier versions have libncurses 5.4 with wide character support, but not libncursesw.

macOS system libcurses from ncurses 5.4 supports wide characters perfectly here.
Meanwhile, I am able to reproduce the issue on Debian Jessie with 2d7b575c8257fbc25f9959701ebebeb26f100036.

It is possible to use ncurses 6.0 from Homebrew instead, which does come with libncursesw, but I don't see the need, and it raises the bar of entry on macOS significantly. While I understand your reluctance, I'd say a uname test in the Makefile is the best compromise here.

I don't think that's new, and that's a separate issue.

This issue is about "unhelpful advice", and I was enlisted to discuss that, so I discussed just that.
