I don't see why it needs a lot of time. Doing a terminal is a fair bit of work
and a widget is also a lot of work.

stdout is easy enough to do without such complexity... but a full terminal with
ncurses and the works is non-trivial... so i'd just say:

"find some other way" :)

as an aside: ncurses in a gui widget seems a big backwards to me... if there is
need for a gui (ncurses gui) then perhaps it should become an actual gui... and
be abstracted as such. e.g. cmdline apps are building a gui using curses... but
why not build a real gui - eg describe a layout via stdout and then get events
via stdin... yes - likely a bigger task but the better solution for a gui. :)
