| Binary compat is maintained, except for the NetBSD extensions.

- Are we providing all the termcap capabilities that have different names
  under terminfo?
  http://opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908775/xcurses/terminfo.html
- Are you planning to link libtermcap.so to libterminfo.so?
- Will setting $TERMCAP still work? What are you planning to do with tset -s?
- Who are we copying the terminfo library from? FreeBSD?
- Something needs to be done with tn3270 (c3270 or whatever)

There are probably a few more things that will break that I have
not considered so far...
