OK, I compiled libtermcap and put it with the webrev here:
  http://www.yalms.org/cr/libtermcap/
See the download links near the top.  There's a tar gz
of the libraries, and two scripts to install or restore.

There's also a libreadline there built to use it, in case
anyone want's to verify the claim that one can use an
alternate curses library with it.

Looking forward to reports from the SFW build.

Thanks,
Gordon
