I am out of my depth here, but I recently did a partial port of the gnu
Midnight Commander file manager to DOS. This had originally used curses,
but the current project has switched to S-Lang, and the comments in the
code indicate they feel curses to be less suitable. I used Slang, as the
Slang distribution contains the makefiles to build a lib specifically
for djgpp and I'm lazy.

There are a number of widgets in the MC code, but they are not set up
specifically as a separate library. You might find something of interest
at the gnome.org page.
