Would it really be necessary to pull in another curses?  At worst what
you could do is build a mini-curses that uses reach-overs to pull in
the functionality from libcurses for you.  Most of the interface is
reasonable modular so you should be able to just grab the core and
possibly hard-code in a Really Dumb (tm) terminal definition.
