The API is always available in Win8+ even in UWP builds, unlike CreateFileW.
The API is pretty much the same. CONOUT is also supported [1].

If the environment forces the UNICODE define it will use the wrong call.

It's already defined properly.

If the system allows newer API's we should downversion it.

The slang internal auto-detection of utf8 is only executed by a call to
SLutf8_enable(-1).

The Xlib and ncurses libraries query the LC_CTYPE locale value to guess
the usable character set. If the calling program did not call setlocale(),
that character set will be severely limited. Extensive Unicode support
is a reasonable libcaca user expectation.

The locale is restored as soon as possible, once the window or terminal
have been initialised. Unfortunately, the effect of setlocale() is process-
wide, and may affect other threads. This is now documented.

Note also that both Xlib and ncurses ignore the effects of uselocale()
which would have been the thread-safe solution to this problem.

- Save and correctly restore console input mode, ie. do not
   change settings of the original console.
 - Fix hiding of cursor.
 - Free console again if the driver actually created a new one.
 - Default canvas size is current window size.
 - Base calculation on current font.
 - Properly handle press and release events of up to 5 mouse buttons.
 - Map right mouse button to button #3. This is a change in behaviour,
   which is desirable for cross-platform codes.
 - Generate two click events for double mouse clicks.
 - Mouse wheel support, creates button press events. Button numbers
   are identical to X11 mappings.
 - Handle window buffer resize events.

- Ignore key events when XFilterEvent returns true
  - Do not set key to 0 when it is over 128
