Or, rebuilding the termcap from sources.

The problem was that I build these things on linux and a botched
configure script ended up causing a native libtermcap.a library to be
built rather than a cygwin one.  I never noticed before because this is
the first time that I built libtermcap with my nifty new "mknetrel"
script which checks out a fresh copy and builds everything with standard
parameters.

Anyway, a new version has been uploaded.  I'm not going to announce
this again on cygwin-announce, though.
