That is descended from the 2004 tiago.dionizio module, because at
the top of lcurses.c we have:
 * (c) Reuben Thomas <[email protected]> 2009-2010                  *
 * (c) Tiago Dionizio <tiago.dionizio AT gmail.com> 2004-2007  *

I got it installed (the CPPFLAGS=/usr/include/lua5.1 option
in INSTALL didn't work, but '-I /usr/include/lua5.1' did)
but most of the functions are missing, like it has no getch(),
timeout(), keypad(), refresh(), setattr(), clear() etc. etc.
The constants (KEY_UP etc) appear after initscr has been called,
but the missing functions don't. However, they do feature in:
  strings /usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/curses.a | less
and also in lcurses.c, where they get put not in the curses table but
in two metatables which are subsequently deleted and whose function I
can't decypher. Overall, I find this zero-documentation, zero-testscript,
zero-examples style doesn't work well for me. If anyone can get it
tamed and up onto luarocks.org then great thanks and kudos to them;
it's important infrastructure.  Maybe I'll email Reuben Thomas...

I couldn't find that fork, at least not in http://www.gnu.org/s/zile/

Sorry to be a grouch, sorry to be obtuse,
Thanks for your help,
