Breaking text only win32 apps is not an option.

I'll see your bet, and raise you $150.  The requirements are:
1) text mode win32 apps should not invoke curses unless they start using
cursor motion
2) text mode win32 apps should not use user unless they dynamically load
user32.dll
3) whatever solution is picked, it should be similar to the one used on
Windows NT/2000/XP
4) wine should be able to run a windows telnet server
that invokes cmd to parse commands without tripping over itself.
