   Sounds good. I haven't checked to see if the latest was available via pacman   
   just yet, but I will. ;)

   No need, really. I get it via CVS.

   Odd. When I fire up golded without screen it changes all the line drawing   
   characters to ascii letters, defined in ncurses.h. Now I begin to wonder if   
   you must _only_ have wide ncurses installed in order for golded's make option   
   for WIDE_NCURSES=1 to actually work as expected.

   Sure, but now that you did a little tinkering, you have an even better working   
   ncurses! ;)

   Oddly enough, I'm fairly certain ArchlinuxARM uses a framebuffer, but I have   
   no idea what it is and don't remember installing it myself. Maybe the RPi3 has   
   one built in? I've seen 4 penguins and the tie-dye splash screen on bootup,   
   though..

   Well of course! Why change it up now? ;)
