Finally got around to looking at this; it's certainly a great start.  I
imagine we're going to be looking for oddities for a while yet.  For me
it's failing on the test below -- which means it's run five
successfully, which is already better than I might have hoped.

I made a start on further changes to protect against termcap
variability (by intercepting tests for capabilities); the complication
is the need to intercept tclen, the length of the sequence, too, and I
haven't worked around that yet.  If VT100 turns out to be standard
enough --- or we have enough ways of forcing a termcap/terminfo
definition, though I have severe doubts about that given the
multiplicity of terminal libraries ---  maybe we don't need any more.
