[Nix-dev] ncursesw instead of ncurses

[Yurii G. Kudryashov]

Hello!

I'm trying to run NixOS in ru_RU.UTF-8 console. It seems that 
current default compilation of ncurses library doesn't compile 
multi-byte support (ncursesw) library. Ncursesw is 
source-compatible with ncurses. Why not to use it instead of 
ncurses?

I've attached my ncurses/default.nix based on LFS 
(www.linuxfromscratch.org) variant. I've tested it with finch 
(console version of pigdin), and it works.  Also I've got rid of 
builder.sh.
