This looks great.

Only one minor issue:

  config.status: executing config.modules commands
  ./config.status[1515]: config.modules.sh:  not found

That's because the dot command in /bin/sh on Solaris searches the path
for config.modules.sh. It seems bash will look in the current directory
anyway which is probably why it works on Linux. I've put the fix below.

Yes, I still need the previous terminfo patch at home but it seems to
have solved the config.modules problems I had - thanks. I also get this
on Solaris 8. Is that what you're talking about with term.h:

  checking term.h usability... no
  checking term.h presence... yes
  configure: WARNING: term.h: present but cannot be compiled
  configure: WARNING: term.h:     check for missing prerequisite headers?
  configure: WARNING: term.h: see the Autoconf documentation
  configure: WARNING: term.h:     section "Present But Cannot Be Compiled"
  configure: WARNING: term.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's result
  configure: WARNING: term.h: in the future, the compiler will take precedence
  configure: WARNING:     ## ------------------------------------------ ##
  configure: WARNING:     ## Report this to the AC_PACKAGE_NAME lists.  ##
  configure: WARNING:     ## ------------------------------------------ ##
  checking for term.h... yes

Should we be defining something so that it says `zsh' instead of
AC_PACKAGE_NAME?

Doesn't seem to matter though - it builds and `make test' passes.
