Hmm, I am not sure that this should go into a "help" section of jhalfs: normally, such an indication should be in the book itself (amounts to just name the "only known binary-only application(s) that link(s) against non-wide-character Ncurses library" in this case). And help in jhalfs should just refer to the book. Done at rev4122.
