Hello,

On FreeBSD the status of ncurses is particularly annoying. We have a old 
curses lib under /usr/lib/libcurses.so that does not provide ncurses 
functionalities.

I tried the following CMakeLists.txt

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)
project(cmaketest)

set(srcs "main.c")

set(CURSES_NEED_NCURSES TRUE)
find_package(Curses REQUIRED)
message(${CURSES_LIBRARY})

add_executable(test ${srcs})

But it does not find my /usr/local/lib/libncurses.so (this one is what I 
want) it only stuck with /usr/lib/libcurses.so

I of course can link directly to it, but I don't like this way.

Cheers,
