Modern port of Turbo Vision 2.0

A modern port of Turbo Vision 2.0, the classical framework for text-based user interfaces, but with Unicode support. Turbo Vision lets application developers avoid writing platform-specific workarounds for TUI apps. It attempts to reproduce consistent results everywhere, without developers worrying about terminal capabilities, direct I/O, ifdefs, and other platform quirks. Turbo Vision provides many widget classes (also known as views), including resizable, overlapping windows, pull-down menus, dialog boxes, buttons, scroll bars, input boxes, check boxes and radio buttons. You may use and extend these; but even if you prefer creating your own, Turbo Vision already handles event dispatching, display of fullwidth Unicode characters, etc.
