In order not to lose functions like $TERMCAP and tn3270,
please implement terminfo as an emulation on top of native termcap.

You have already written most of needed code for termcap <-> terminfo
conversion, so the implementation will not be so difficult.
tic command would be something like infotocap && cap_mkdb.
