ncurses-5.2

Maintainers,

I came up with a little peice of ugliness that allows "make
install.data" (and therefore "make install") to work when cross
compiling.  It relies on the assumption that there is already a version
of tic for the build machine installed.  I guess I am also assuming that
tic generates the same terminfo database from a given set of sources no
matter what architecture it is run on.  It seemed fairly likely to me
that the terminfo database is arch-independent.  Anyhow, it's just a
patch to run_tic.in that checks if you were cross compiling, and if so,
runs the installed version of tic instead of the one you just compiled.
Since we already have a BUILD_CC to use, it would be great if we could
just compile two versions of tic, when cross-compiling (a host version
and a build version) then you could use the build version to create
terminfo at install time, but install the host version (for packaging
purposes).
