NCurses, despite being conceptually simpler than Gtk or Qt, will 
probably need more groundwork initially than either of those 
because it doesn't manage its own event loop.  There are other 
toolkits which wrap ncurses and provide that, but I don't think 
any of them is very well supported or mature.  I looked into 
this myself about 6 months ago and decided it was way beyond my 
abilities at the time.  But I think it would be possible, and 
desirable as a more featureful alternative to just using 
stdin/stdout for console apps.
