[netsurf-dev] ncurses once again

Hello,
years ago I had an idea to make the ncurses frontend.
I back to this idea.
At https://github.com/rkd77/nstxt/blob/main/netsurf-textmode.patch there is a patch
against netsurf master branch. To build:
make TARGET=textmode

Usage as framebuffer, F10 key quits. If you want to change URL, click on top and change url.
The idea is to align to terminal cells. Sometimes it does not work well, not always alignment
is correct.

What to change in this code to be accepted?
Changes to netsurf code are minimal. You could have one more user if you add ncurses frontend.
