=E2=80=98TERMINFO_DIRS=E2=80=99 is a search path of ncurses.  However, beca=
use search
paths of dependencies are not honored, it doesn=E2=80=99t get set:

  https://bugs.gnu.org/22138

This is what we should fix.

It would feel wrong to add =E2=80=98TERMINFO_DIRS=E2=80=99 as a search path=
 of dvtm and
everything that depends on ncurses.

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
