ncurses on C# on Hurd with Chinese support... why? Oh god, why? Why not 
simply use ncurses on C or C++ instead like it's meant to be? What do 
you think you'll gain by using C#? The time you need to invest to make 
this work you could actually do _useful_ work.

                which is<br>

                so that it<br>
                &gt;&gt; has a little bit more of the GNU website feel
                instead of just a few lines of<br>

                &gt;&gt;&gt; effort and no official maintainer for the
                project anymore, nor are we<br>
