Urwid?

Well there are Ncurses bindings lying around, but I guess the 
point is to get something rather simple. Ofcourse porting for 
example Urwid from Python to D would be possible but I am not 
sure if there is a point in doing so.

In my framework I've added only stuff that I missed from MS Class 
Library, and actually were useful, like Console.ReadKey or 
Console.ForegroundColor.

I think that Chad idea was to provide something simple like that.
