I started that PR. Subsequently there was a short discussion off-list where
it turned out that Warner Losh had a compact termcap file which could be
committed - it's attached below. However nothing further happened.

Anybody care to commit it? I guess some rescue/Makefile magic needs updating
to install it in the right place.
