I've got a working modular onnv building.. I could *probably* reproduce 
the build *exactly* and replace any part of it w/o too much trouble..  
The other option is break-up the SUNWcs manifest into smaller chunks, 
one of which being the curses packages which should include the terminfo 
bits.. Lots of options imho.. (Of course there could be legacy or 
dependency issues here I'm unaware of though..)
