I am fortunate to have a small separate project where I only
need setupterm/tgetent and tigetstr/tgetstr. Using that as
playground, the following successful use-cases have surfaced:

  -ltinfo, <ncurses.h>, <term.h>
     applies to Debian testing including GNU/kFreeBSD,
     and to FreeBSD 8.0, where the latter links libtinfo
     to libncurses. It is probable that other recent
     GNU/Linux systems are providing libtinfo.

  -lncurses, <ncurses/ncurses.h>, <ncurses/term.h>
     applies to GNU/OpenSolaris. The use of <term.h>
     gives rise to workaround issues.

  -lncurses, <ncurses.h>, <term.h>
     applies to Debian stable, OpenBSD, OpenIndiana.

  -lcurses, <term.h>
     systems falling back to this are unknown to me.

  -ltermcap, <termcap.h>
     applies to NetBSD.

No I begin porting this to Inetutils. Any comment on these
cases is welcome. Additional cases? Some will possibly surface
once I compare with the code in "am/libcurses.m4".
