Well, while we're wishing here.. :-)

A *far far* better solution would be to be able to add callbacks for
each item created, then I'd never even need to parse that &%^%$*!!
result string at all!  The original dialog/libdialog was designed for
use from shell scripts, and not from C.  The shortcomings of this are
obvious.
