texconfig is passing this TERM=generic setting to dialog (or
tcdialog). This is a fail-safe setting because dialog is compiled with
a static version of ncurses and this might
1) have trouble to find the right path for the terminfo files on the
system it runs on
2) might have touble to use the terminfo files, because they are not
necessarily compatible with ncurses
That's why texconfig passes settings for TERM and the TERMINFO path
to dialog.
This only works, however, if teTeX's texmf tree is properly installed.
