[arch-haskell] Rebuild GHC against newer ncurses?

[Leif Warner]

Saw a workaround on IRC; posted it to the issue on github:
https://github.com/archhaskell/habs/issues/202#issuecomment-141550410
Basically, copying the libncursesw.so.5.9 file out of the old package to
/usr/lib/libncursesw.so.5 seems to work.
