I'm currently rewriting GNU Zile (a lightweight Emacs clone) in Lua,
so I need curses support.
You may consider doing it without curses. That library is worthy of it's name. 
There is big enough subset of ANSI escape sequences that is well
supported by all current terminals.
Terminal emulation bugs are often easy to work around without adding
specific cases to the code.

See http://vt100.net and http://www.xfree86.org/current/ctlseqs.html
for good reference.
