As long as libreadline (for debugger history and command line editing) 
works, it does not matter whether it's linked against ncurses or termcap 
library.

Without PortMidi, Hatari build fall backs to supporting direct (device) 
file access, but that's not very useful on Windows.

With PortMidi, system MIDI devices are used instead of (device) file 
paths.  PortMidi is the only way to access MIDI devices on Mac and Windows.

(MIDI devices are easier for end-users to use than files as PortMidi 
discovers them automatically. Whereas direct file access allows 
additional use-cases like MIDI networking.)
