File iftop-0.17-ncursesw.patch of Package iftop

Patch by Robert Scheck <robert@fedoraproject.org> for iftop >= 0.17, which works
around a PuTTY issue (doesn't honor vt100 line-drawing when in UTF-8 mode) to get
sane lines drawn instead of letters. When using PuTTY in UTF-8 mode, you have to
execute "NCURSES_NO_UTF8_ACS=1 iftop" in the future. Technically, relinking from
curses to ncursesw is just half of the solution, calling setlocale() is the rest.
For further information, please have a look to Red Hat Bugzilla, bug ID #546032:
