Joseph,
I've never used it myself, but you might try a project called PDCurses
( http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=30480 )
It compiles for Win32, DOS and OS/2 as well as most *N?xs. The source
tarball is ~350K. You can of course trim this back as well to include
only those functions you want. It is generally unneccesary tio compile
an entire library if you use only a small part. You could probably do
that with NCurses as well.
