ncurses alternative (development in progress)

I've told about ncurses alternative some time ago on IRC, and here it is. I think it should work, but there are maybe some unknown bugs and issues.
But currently it is in early alpha stage, maybe there are things to change, maybe there are bugs and design mistakes. I don't know. So, basically it may be interesting for developers (C/C++).

Few notes about it (also see NOTES in source package):
1. UTF-8 only.
2. Not all terms are supported. But popular ones: xterm, rxvt-unicode, konsole, gnome-terminal, linux console, xfterm4, Eterm. Easy to add support if terminal has needed capabilities.
3. There are unimplemented API functions.

To compile, use ./compile.sh script (no Makefile yet)
For neat things, see ./keyboard (it's example application and good for testing also)

http://code.google.com/p/termbox

I think library never will be a shared object, because it's small, so it's intended to simply include it in a project.

Re: ncurses alternative (development in progress)

Is there any way to contact the author? There isn't any information available neither on google.code, nor here. I'm actually hardly interested in this code since curses just does not fit for the project i'm planning to work on and termbox seems just fine.

So if author haven't dropped his code i just need to discuss some issues.

P.S. С приветом из Прибалтики.
