I think so, my works only depend on ncurses/pdcurses, so if they work
properly on the system i expect my library to work properly too.

Also, the only thing written in C is the curses interface, the console 
interface
is based only on pure lua scripts using the curses functions.

Regarding the controls (panel, wizard, etc), it should be easy to implement
and/or extend existing controls using a *class* interface.

I'll try writting something to make it easy to understand how things work.
