[Mono-list] managed NCurses options for IronPython?

Hi,

I'm trying to help an open source project add Windows support to 
existing Linux support. It is a Python-based curses app, using Ncurses.

They'd like to port the Python to IronPython, and have using a managed 
NCurses library, such that it'd work with Mono anywhere NCurses is, and 
on Windows with MS .NET (or Mono).

I can't find any up-to-date NCurses wrappers. The best I've found so far 
is curses-sharp on SF, which hasn't been touched in 3 years:
http://curses-sharp.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/curses-sharp/

Are there other managed library options for IronPython-based curses, 
which is portable to Linux and Windows, Mono and MS .NET?

Can anyone suggest other curses options (besides NCurses) for managed 
code, or other console-based UI library that would be usable by 
IronPython (and hopefully also CPython), and portable?

Thanks,
Lee
