Oh yes, texconfig-dialog mentions whiptail indeed.  The relevant
function in texconfig-dialog is:

###############################################################################
# findDialog(void)
#   Some systems have their own dialog. Use it then and do not use
#   faked TERM and TERMINFO variables when calling that dialog.
###############################################################################
findDialog()
{
  for bin in whiptail dialog
  do
    binLoc=`texconfig findprog $bin`
    case $binLoc in
      "") DIALOG_PROG="";;
      *)  DIALOG_PROG=$binLoc; break;;
    esac
  done
  case $DIALOG_PROG in
    "") 
      : ${DIALOG_TERMINFO=$TEXMFMAIN/texconfig}
      : ${DIALOG_TERM=generic}
  esac
}

Could someone else investigate?  Last night was too short and I'm
tired out now.

Regards,
  Reinhard

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
