Of course you have to do the headers and the lib together.
Nobody expects binary compatibility.
slcurses.h has
#define initscr SLcurses_initscr
so the interface is there in some form.
I don't claim that it *will* work, just that I've outlined a way
to test it.
Oh, and of course you may have to explicitly work around the do-called
fix-for-lynx in slcurses.h (modify it, or modify Lynx source to make
sure LYCURSES_H is undefined when slcurses.h is included (under the
name curses.h)).
