As cgf mentioned, no. And in a way it doesn't make sense. If you link
against Cygwin libs, why don't you just create a Cygwin application
(apart from the obvious licensing issues)?
What you *can* do is to find a native ncurses implementation on the net,
or, which is much less work and just a little bit more effort code-wise,
use some libtermcap with a termcap file. Building libtermcap natively
should be pretty simple anyway.
