It seems that libtermcap went away. Fine and dandy, okay...

The problem is that libtermcap.so, still hanging around, is used by things
that don't usually get rebuilt in a buildworld/installworld run (like X11
tools like xterm)- and attempts to use such things yield:

farrago.feral.com > xterm
/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /usr/lib/libtermcap.so.2: Undefined symbol
"__stderr"


(this also nukes ports like bash, etc., until they get rebuilt)

d'ya suppose we can have libtermcap back, or some kind of compat
thingie? Would this be a 4.X compat thingie? How is this supposed to work?
