These two programs exports TERMCAP of the form
		co#80:li#24:
Where 80 and 24 can be replaced by the dimensions
of your xterm.  This is really braindead as you
often want to resize your xterm and many applications
simply worship TERMCAP as the most reliable source
of info.  It also makes anything that uses libslang
unusable as it thinks my TERMCAP is too simple :)

This should be disabled by default.
