Apart from the fact (as others have pointed out), you won't have
a single binary, you can use a binding to Curses. Then compile with
curses/ncurses on *NIX platforms, and use PDCurses for Windows. If
you don't mind making it a CYGWIN executable (under Windows that is),
you can use the ncurses library there as well.
