I thought about this a lot at one time, and it seems to me that it would not
be too hard to port the SLang library (which includes a terminal IO library)
to run on Win32 with IO to a Win32 window. I never had enough need or time
to actually implement this, though...

(Actually, I suppose that a curses port to a Win32 window would be
theoretically possible, but I'm guessing it would be a lot harder.)
