lynx-dev OT: ncurses for MingW

[Gisle Vanem]

This is a bit off-topic and is really a question for Thomas.

I have a program that I'd like to port to MingW. Only problem is 
that it makes heavy use of ncurses and it's forms, fields and menus.
I've built PD-curses and S-Lang with MingW but it lacks a lot of 
ncurses functions. 

So has anybody been able to built ncurses with MingW (if possible
at all)? Any chance I could use PD-curses or S-Lang to replace all the 
low-level Unix terminal stuff? 

AFAICS, if I'd port ncurses using S-Lang I need to replace writing of the 
ESC sequences with S-Lang functions. Any other foreseeable problems 
I should be aware of? Is this a futile task?
