Third-party Cygwin distributions like copssh aren't supported here.

/usr/share/terminfo isn't used by the Cygwin DLL, so the DLL version
(1.7.2 vs 1.7.5) is irrelevant here. It is used by ncurses though, and
the terminfo database format has changed fairly recently. Look for
terminfo and ncurses announcements.

They're hexadecimal ASCII codes representing the first character of
the terminal type. '63' is ASCII for 'c', as in 'cygwin'. '78' is 'x'
as in 'xterm'.
