I did a trial version of this for 1.76, it was quite simple. Andrey asked about waiting for ncurses.. I am not sure that's a good idea yet, since they have just broken scrolling on the cons25 screens (no scroll regions), this is especially noticable with /usr/bin/talk. And emacs went spastic last time I recompiled it.. It doesn't seem work in text mode at all at the moment, either on xterm or cons25, something is seriously unwell in the ncurses code at the moment.
