Termcap/terminfo is used to describe to Emacs (and other applications) how
the terminal behaves.  In your case, you don't want to describe its behavior
but you want to change it instead.  How to do this changes from one terminal
to the next.  I know how to do it with xterm.

I think `loadkeys' is on the right track as far as the GNU/Linux
console goes.  As for cygwin's terminal, I have no idea.
