termcap vs terminfo

[sigsegv at mail.ru]

I've noticed that the base system does not have terminfo, but instead 
comes with termcap. Apparently BSD always had termcap and System V had 
terminfo. I don't want to start a religious war as to which one is 
better, but only want to ask if anyone has experienced problems when 
porting ncurses applications from BSD to System V and vice versa, and 
what could be done to minimise such problems.

Thanks.
