Like Xinside's Accelerated X server.  I had to poke around on ftp
sites until I found a precompiled libtermcap I could put into
/usr/local/lib.  Maybe we should have a libtermcap-compat package.  Of
course that might encourage people to be sloppy.

By the way, I noticed that rpncalc is has a libtermcap dependency.
Shouldn't that package be recompiled?
