hmm - how large is the output screen?  (I seem to remember some code 
change needed for smaller than 24x80, in lynx).

If you're going to port ncurses, it might make more sense to add your 
knob's code down at that level (and make it return cursor-key codes, tabs, 
etc.).  It depends on whether the knob would be "always" used in the same 
context.

You said this is embedded - what sort of system support would it be using?
ncurses does assume the underlying system has POSIX-style tcsetattr, etc.
