This is very nice and elegant, but why do you want to do this?  Doesn't
it duplicate PeekMessage?

And, besides, the great guru Davis of MIT Hampshire Street has already
pronounced the following, which is quoted from the changes.txt file in
the latest slang library version:

8. The WIN32 terminal support has been modified to be more consistent with
   the other platforms.  In particular, mouse button press reporting
   has been added (SLtt_set_mouse_mode), and bright color support
   appears to have been fixed.  Note: For MINGW32 and CYGWIN32, use
   src/mkfiles/makefile.all.  Do not use the Unix configure script
   because WIN32 is NOT Unix.
