Isn't it a bit annoying to no longer have clear/reset compiled as part
of Busybox?

Perhaps we should enable the clear/reset applets in Busybox if ncurses
is disabled, and disable the clear/reset applets in Busybox if ncurses
is enabled. This way, we keep the existing functionality, but we can
break the ncurses->busybox dependency.

Thanks,

Thomas
