I don't think this is a good idea, since most systems won't know what
to do with such a special TERM value.  (PuTTY already has its own TERM
name, but doesn't use it by default, for the above reason, I guess.)

It is much better if PuTTY would by default use the same colors as
xterm, since that's the default TERM it uses.
