curterm.c:
- there are more baud rates defined on NetBSD.
defs.c:
- the arrays of constants should be sorted so the index functions
can use binary search instead of of linear.
setupterm.c:
- use errx(3) in the exit case so that the program name gets printed.
term.c:
- what frees tp->_extras?
termcap.c:
- sort arrays and use binary search.
tputs.c:
- to support multiple terminals outc should be passed a second
void * argument that can be used from the application to determine
the terminal context. ie. the signature for ti_puts should be
int ti_puts(const TERMINAL *term, const char *str, int affcnt,
int (*outc)(int, void *), void *arg)
