FWIW, I tried porting it some time ago. The X version worked 100% fine in all respects, but I had some problems with the tty version, even after tweaking. The problems resulted in non-optimal display updating and sometimes miscoloration and invalid character inserts and deletes messing up the display. Now, it worked just fine with a vt100, but not for cons25. I never did track down the problem, but it may have been a special case problem with the cons25 termcap entry, probably buried deep within slang's screen manager and buried down yet another level into libmyterminfo. I never resolved it, so this problem was the only reason I didn't make it a port at the time. It may be that the problem got fixed in a later version of slang - there have been at least 2 slang updates since.
