One of the first things I do on a new installation is to add terminfo
support.  Just cd into /usr/src/lib/libmytinfo, edit config.h, change
the '#undef TERMINFO' to '#define TERMINFO', make, make install.
libmytinfo will now support both termcap and terminfo.

My third try: whose arm to I have to twist to make this change the default?
I've found nothing that it breaks, and it has several benefits.
