Ah, I hadn't realized a decision was reached.

I'm all for getting rid of the hardcoded values because they make for
maintenance problems.  If we could just document where to fix it for
some of the easier problems (ie, go grab a working vt100 terminfo
entry from ftp.foo.tld), or provide compile-time switch to 
enable/disable it, that'd be great.
