} This is my attempt to get the echotc builtin out of the core

Lots of errors for me:

And then:

It appears that configure on my RH5.2 box decides that only -ltermcap is
necessary, but the tiget* functions are in libcurses.  I find it somewhat
disappointing that zsh now has to be linked with curses; the line editor
has so studiously avoided using curses for screen management ...
