That's the point, with the TERMCAP and TERMINFO variables it works
fine most of the time, but there are some situations where it doesn't. 
Having it in the general terminfo files would help in such cases.

But please disregard my original message; looks like eterm-color has
made it into ncurses meanwhile:
<ftp://invisible-island.net/ncurses/5.7/ncurses-5.7-20081129.patch>

However, if I compare etc/e/eterm-color.ti with the entry now in
terminfo.src, then the latter has the following additional entries:

	msgr,
	blink=\E[5m,
	sgr=\E[0%?%p1%p3%|%t;7%;%?%p2%t;4%;%?%p4%t;5%;%?%p6%t;1%;%?%p7%t;8%;m,
	u6=\E[%i%d;%dR,
	u7=\E[6n,

Are these correct, or should they (or some of them) be removed from
the entry in ncurses/terminfo?
