I don't mean this at all, I just wanted to know if somebody
improve/patch/develop libdialog, or if somebody is going

to FreeBSD. Nobody (I at least) knows what will be in future.

I think that it is useful and simple library, I used dialog(1) in Perl

bugs in it and almost every line of source must be checked.
