A few problems:

1) the Makefile tries to force owner and group when installing the
binaries. I have to edit it to remove this, since I don't want to
install as root, I want to do it under a special account. Please don't
make that kind of decision for me

2) problem compiling watch.c:
gcc -pipe -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -I. -Wall -Wunused
-fwritable-strings -DPROC_COLOR -c watch.c
watch.c:9: ncurses.h: No such file or directory
