x11/rxvt-unicode && 256 colors

Hello,

I'm using x11/rxvt-unicode from head (PORTVERSION 9.21). I can not
convince urxvt to use (for example in vim) 256 colors; it only says it
has 100 colors:

$ TERM=rxvt-unicode-256color tput colors
100

This wrong info comes perhaps from /etc/termcap or some other place in
the system. The terminfo file the port installs is not used at all (I
checked this with truss), not even when the TERINFO env var points to
it; The terminal itself is able to use 256 colors (there are some perl
script in the net to check this, and they print fine the full palette).

Any idea how I could fix this?

Thanks

	matthias
