Version 5.7+20081213-1.maemo1+0m5+0cssu0 which includes xterm-256color in ncurses-base seems to install and work OK.

I had a go at merging 5.7+20101128, but then I noticed that Midnight Commander (mc), which uses ncurses, was sometimes crashing at startup with an illegal operation. Reverting to 5.7+20081213-1.maemo1+0m5+0cssu0 and rebooting seemed to solve the problem. These two versions are supposed to be binary compatible (5.8 is not). I'll investigate further.

Can we put 5.7+20081213-1.maemo1+0m5+0cssu0 into CSSU devel for now?
