Ok, now it is clear. As it turns out, adding ncurses dep did not fixed the
problem - those strange 'curl/types.h' is still needed. So I've included
gentoo patch fixing this issue. It works now, nixpkgs patch is in attach.
Unfortunately, I realised that conky/default.nix keeps all X-related
functions disabled. It makes impossible to use conky as desktop decorator..
