I believe, I read an article in this newsgroup or in c.s.a.s.t that
someone already ported oleo. But he did it by adding some code to the
MiNT kernel to add some missing signal or so, which was used by oleo.

With GNU-C and MiNT, this is just a simple compile job. At most a
handfull of lines must be changed. I found only one glitch. You have
to link with a CURSES/TERMCAP library, which explicitly compiled with
the MiNT header files, since SC relies on CURSES to put the terminal
into raw mode. With the standard TOS compiled CURSES lib SC wouldn't
return to raw mode after a suspend job (^Z).
