Well... I guess termcap is user by a library and terminfo by another 
library.. and vi/nano and others use the latter.
Problem is that under FreeBSD I didn't find the usuale 
/usr/share/termcap/c/ direcotry to put cygwin terminfo file.
A friend of mine found out that creating it in 
/usr/share/misc/terminfo/c/cygwin completely solves the problem.
I wonder why doesn't FreeBSD contains a bunch of terminfo examples 
(the /usr/share/misc/terminfo directory doesn't even exist in a standard 
install).
Whops the same friend just told me that terminfo database is to be 
included soon in FreeBSD base files.

Well anyhaw anyone reading this ML can be an happy remote freebsd user =)
