I will work on that later (unless someone, hopefully, volunteers). It
seems like there is no official libtermcap available anymore. Slackware,
Debian (which Gentoo also uses), and Red Hat all have their own sources.

Then maybe we can have a choice still now, like:

BASH_SCREEN_LIB=	ncurses
(like LYNX_SCREEN_LIB)
or

BASH_USE_CURSES
(like MUTT_USE_NCURSES, MUTT_USE_SLANG or PINFO_USE_NATIVE_CURSES)
