I've just started a c++ project and wanted to use the c++ bindings to ncurses but found they aren't a part of the standard package. I think this should be added. Also, including more documentation (specifically ncurses-intro.html) would be a definite plus. (I can write another ticket for this if you prefer -- otherwise I thought you'd enjoy having less clutter instead.)
C++: A bit too late to get into 6.2 - we're in "no new packages" at the moment, and I don't want to put it into the base ncurses-devel package because it would introduce additional dependencies for a base install. I'll put it in for 7.0 though. docs: ncurses-intro.html is included in ncurses-devel already.
