I really hate that too. I would really appreciate it if someone made a
termcap.h header file and removed the termcap function declarations from
curses.h. I *just* want to be able to use the termcap functions without
having to include <curses.h> [and having the termcap function prototypes 
available].

It would remove such ugliness from files like:

tput.c:

#undef ospeed
        extern short ospeed;

Curses.h has a gazillion #defines that make including it a pain...
