Okay, I have another idea that might be a bit more productive, since the
code in libdialog seems to be nothing but a huge hack. How about
adopting tvision to replace dialog(3)? Libh uses tvision, and I've
thought about writing a small API compat glue (libtdialog.{so,a}) that
would allow legacy libdialog code to be linked with tvision without
modification. The only (big) drawback I see in tvision is that it's in
C++, otherwise is lightyears ahead of what dialog(3) currently offers.
