I'm using "sndconfig-0.33" to check the gnewt compatibility.
(Most recent sndconfig version uses "libpci" that I haven't found in
Debian, that's why I'm using this old 0.33 version).
There is also some test programs in the source code, these tests use
all widgets available in newt (but not all features).
(I'm using "whiptail" scripts too. Be careful potatos's newt-0.50-5
isn't compatible with gnewt which is compatible with newt-0.50-13).
Unfortunatly RedHat is using Python for it's install system.
You will not learn anything from their code unless you want rewrite
everything in Python.
