Hi Kirk. Actually, it seems the Ncurses bits have already been done for us; the only problem that remains however, is the fact that Twinkle itself seems unable to build without at least a partial install of QT somewhere. Ideally I think what we'd want to do is have some sort of flag in the configure script (--enable-console-only for example), that would simply build the console interface, and nothing else UI-wise. I also didn't notice any direct calls to Ncurses or Readline for that matter while poking around the source tree yesterday, so some reading through the files in src/gui is probably in order.
