The mechanics are just putting a compiled terminfo description into
the /usr/share/lib/terminfo/x/xterm-color directory; is adding files
to the vendor OS image an obstacle?
The compiled description can be obtained by using tic(1) on the
terminfo description, which can itself be obtained with infocmp(1) on
a machine with xterm-color support in terminfo, such as the athena
linux systems. Alternately, you can pull the "terminfo" file from the
xterm sources in the X (or more likely XF86) distribution.
