something like getch()

[Reuben Collver]

Hello,

  I was unable to make pdcurses until b17.1 of cygnus' gcc & 
utilities.  I found it pre-compiled on another gnu-win32 repository, 
and I could not get that to work either.  If someone would like to 
help me out, please e-mail me and I will get into specifics.

  What I really want is to be able to get a character from stdin if 
there is one in the buffer, but if no key had been pressed the 
function would just return an error code.  I used to use ioctl and 
select to do this, but that does not seem to work with cygnus' 
release.

  Please e-mail me directly if you have any advice.  Thanks in 
advance!
