It's been 6 years since I did any curses programing, but I vaguely remember writing a
simple tool to capture the exact output of the application (all the escape characters)
and then comparing it to the termcap entries. I also think that the various
abbreviations in the termcap and terminfo files are documented somewhere and such
documentation would probably be a huge help. Sorry, I can't be of more help. Luckily
I don't have to use
cygwin as a terminal emulator because I'm using RelectionX.
