Look how the grabber help is done.. wouldn't that be enough? I think, a
simple alert replacement could look like this:

int my_alert(char *text, button, ...)
{
    DIALOG d[] = {{d_textbox_proc, ...text...}, {d_button_proc, ...button...}}
    return popup_dialog(d);
}

It would have multiline wordwrapped text and deal with \n already..
