I ended up renaming 'clear.exe' from the ncurses dist to 'clearn.exe' to 
avoid conflicts with the 'clear' package.  (In ncurses, 'clear.exe' is 
not a 'test' program, so it didn't go into bin/ncurses-test-*/; it went 
into ${prefix}/bin -- hence the conflict which required rename)

pps.exe and pkill.exe ?  Actually, proc*.exe isn't bad -- and the user 
can always alias whatever he wants.
