Description:
------------
I am working on an application written in PHP that uses the ncurses functions, I would like this application to work on win32 machines also. However, I dont want the users required to have a fullblown cygwin install (this is fiddly at best, and win32 users....). I have seen applications written in C for Unix that make use of cygwin.dll and/or cygwindevo.dll, presumably to get Unix-like functionality on Windows, however I have been unable to make any use of this with PHP.

So really my request could be summarised thus:
Ncurses functioning 'natively' under Win32, without the need for cygwin, preferably implemented using an extension dll as per other PHP extensions in Windows.
