Has anyone here successfully used the PHP interface to ncurses?

Running it on an xterm, ncurses_init_color() always fails because
ncurses_can_change_color() always returns 0 (false, can't change color).

This means it's limited to the few lame default colors, unless I'm
misunderstanding something. Also, NCURSES_A_DIM generates the same
output as NCURSES_A_NORMAL.

Please, prove me wrong, okay? <g>

Seems it's a matter of telling xterm what kind of terminal to use, the
"-tn xterm-256color" option seems like the trick.
