I'm the ruby maintainer for OpenCSW, which provides binary packages
for solaris 8+ linked against a modern curses.  Everything lives in
/opt/csw/, so it's self contained except where linking to system
stuff.

I _think_ this should all work on opensolaris (but I don't use it) if
you're interested in trying it.  That won't help things like %P (%z is
another common offender I come across), but it may make part of your
life easier.

You'll get a modern libiconv too, although the version in opensolaris
shouldn't be that old?
