I don't think it should have any dependency.

I just thought it was linking in libncurses because it added
-lcurses.

I personally don't care as long as both work, what I can
confirm.

I just wanted to know why -lcurses was added to
--with-screen=slang, and why

cygncurses6.dll -> /usr/bin/cygncurses6.dll

doesn't appear in ldd. I don't see any -static. I also used
strings.

Just curiosity.
