Not to beat a dead horse here, but no, they are not identical.  In fact,
the termcap file that comes with vim does not contain a 'linux' entry
at all.  That would make it very hard to modify the 'cs=' field in the
linux entry in the termcap file.

That coupled with the fact that the comment indicates that the termcap
file is intended for am Amiga might lead one to believe that the termcap
file which is distributed with vim is not the one to which I was
referring.

No argument there.  I'm a big fan of Sergey's work.  In fact, I just made
a few modifications to his latest source to get a gnuwin32 version
of zsh working.  So, now I have exactly the same environment on 12 UNIX
platforms and 1 NT box.  I'm pretty happy with that.
