| |  Log Message:
| |  Add support for translating the following termcap commands into terminfo:

| |  Fixes PR bin/44692.

| According to the manual page we have:
| 
|      The % encodings have the following meanings:
| 
|      %%       output `%'
|      %d       output value as in printf(3) %d
|      %2       output value as in printf(3) %2d
|      %3       output value as in printf(3) %3d
|      %.       output value as in printf(3) %c
|      %+x      add x to value, then do %.
|      %>xy     if value > x then add y, no output
|      %r       reverse order of two parameters, no output
|      %i       increment by one, no output
|      %n       exclusive-or all parameters with 0140 (Datamedia 2500)
|      %B       BCD (16*(value/10)) + (value%10), no output
|      %D       Reverse coding (value - 2*(value%16)), no output (Delta Data).

| Are all of these supported now?

And since we are supporting termcap escapes now, isn't it better to re-instate
termcap(5)? It is the only source of information for them and the web pages
are lacking.
