Cannot `clear` in shell session #18

This is due to ncurses building clear and reset binaries that we don't need (Busybox has them covered), and then failing to dynamically link (presumably because the CLI utilities somehow built against a system libncurses with a slightly different name).

This caused problems in other areas of the build as well and am currently looking at those. IMO, the proper thing to do is to only ship one set of clear reset utilities with the base system image beneath /bin. Sound reasonable?
