Last time I tried to use termbox (the C version), it required a build tool in python that I'd never heard of (waf), which then required me to do all kinds of yak-shaving to get up and running. All to compile a small C library.
I'm not saying waf is bad, I've never used it (obviously, since I failed to install it). But it was an annoying hoop to jump through.
I do think re-doing the old unix lib faithfuls is a Good Idea. A cleaner curses like library with a better interface would be great.

You can see my changes inlined at https://github.com/akkartik/mu/tree/master/termbox https://github.com/akkartik/mu/tree/master/termbox Edit: ack, sorry I momentarily forgot that I also recently ripped out my project's dependence on `make`. You can see my old makefile at an earlier commit: https://github.com/akkartik/mu/blob/d9ee2076d9/termbox/makefile https://github.com/akkartik/mu/blob/d9ee2076d9/termbox/makef...
