alternate window creation

[Bryan Christ]

I'm looking for a way to do this:

WINDOW  my_win1;
new_win(&my_win,10,10,1,1);  /* <--pseudo func */

Instead of the traditional:

WINDOW *my_win2;
my_win=(newwin,10,10,1,1);


I know that I could just memcpy() my_win2* to my_win1 but I worry that
may cause problems and risk portability.

Any thoughts?
