Urk.  No!  Control of echoing and such is fairly nicely done in Curses,
but there is too much other baggage involved.  What you should be using, as
soon as it becomes available, is the POSIX set of terminal-control functions
(unless it's changed again, POSIX terminal control is now done by a bunch of
little functions rather than by an ioctl-style one-big-struct interface).
